Amazon just dropped an article about putting ComfyUI on the cloud.

Just saw an AWS official blog post about setting up ComfyUI workflows from dev to production on their cloud, and the title specifically highlighted “efficient and cost-effective.” I’ve been stuck dealing with my local machine not being able to handle big workflows, and my team wants to standardize the process, so cloud deployment seems worth looking into.

But I’m wondering what the actual costs look like—cloud services always talk about saving money, then the bill hits you like a slap in the face.

Any bros here who’ve run ComfyUI on the cloud? Drop some real talk on costs and pitfalls you’ve run into, especially how big the jump is from personal tinkering to team production.

Cloud GPU billing? Yeah, I’m not buying the whole “it’s affordable” thing.

Yeah, the whole standardization workflow thing is definitely a pain point for the team.

The official blog only shows the best-case scenarios, but in practice, the rabbit hole goes way deeper.

The biggest pain point when moving from local to production is getting the environment dependencies to match.

We run our setup on AWS at the factory, and cost control really depends on how you tweak the instances.

Honestly, if you wanna save money, you’re better off just building your own rig.

The main reason for running ComfyUI in the cloud is the scalability—handles peak loads way better.
