Exploring the recommendation of using EC2 t2 instances over t3 instances in Airbyte documentation


Question

Hi everyone,
my team and I have been testing Airbyte for a few days, and when I was reading the docs I saw that Airbyte HQ recommends using EC2 t2 instances, why not t3 ones?

The documentation is probably just outdated. For test I would use the latest burstable instance type. For production I recommend you do not use a burstable instance type at all.

Oh ok, that was my main hypotesis, thank you!
