AWS LLM Inference Cost Comparison: Bedrock vs SageMaker vs Self-Hosted
A developer compared real costs of running LLM inference on AWS across three options: Bedrock, SageMaker, and self-hosted on EKS. At low volume (under 10K requests/day), Bedrock is cheapest and simplest; above 50K requests/day, self-hosting on EKS with spot instances saves up to 90%. The article provides a decision framework and recommends a hybrid approach routing by task complexity.
Meridian48 take
The cost crossover point (10K-20K requests/day) is a useful benchmark, but the real insight is that teams should plan their migration path from managed to self-hosted before costs escalate.
