What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Over two years of GA production use (since July 2024) and multiple independently-reported customer benchmarks (SAP, SmugMug, Freshworks, Honeycomb) confirm the performance/cost claims hold up in practice, but Graviton4 is no longer AWS's leading Arm silicon now that Graviton5 is GA, so guardrails apply to forward-looking architecture decisions.
Next
Pilot Graviton4-based C8g/M8g/R8g instances on one non-critical service, validate Arm64 compatibility across the toolchain, and benchmark the claimed 20-45% price-performance gain before broad migration; for new greenfield 2026+ builds, evaluate Graviton5 (GA June 2026) instead since it now supersedes Graviton4 by up to 25% compute performance.
