Creating a spreadsheet with formulas seems like a lot of work, but it could help visualize different scenarios. I wonder if it's more efficient than just using the calculator directly.

I feel like I saw something about using templates in the Pricing Calculator, but I can't recall if the Cloud Operations template is the right one for a web app.

I think option B sounds familiar; running a load test could give real insights, but it might take more time than just using the calculator.

I remember practicing with the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator, but I'm not sure if I should compare it to on-premises machines or just focus on the cloud resources.

I'm a bit confused on the best approach. Should we be creating our own spreadsheet to track the costs, or is the Pricing Calculator the way to go? I'm not sure which method would be more accurate or efficient.

I think the key here is to be as detailed as possible in our cost estimation. Using the Cloud Operations template in the Pricing Calculator seems like a good way to capture all the relevant components of our web application.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Should we also consider running a smaller-scale test on Google Cloud to get a more accurate idea of the actual costs? That might give us a better sense of the real-world usage and pricing.

B) Implement a similar architecture on Google Cloud, and run a reasonable load test on a smaller scale. Check the billing information, and calculate the estimated costs based on the real load your system usually handles.

A) Use the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator to determine the cost of every Google Cloud resource you expect to use. Use similar size instances for the web server, and use your current on-premises machines as a comparison for Cloud SQL.
