Independent, benchmark-driven cloud platform reviews for engineering teams. Based in Amsterdam, read worldwide.
ByteReview was established in 2019 in Amsterdam with a straightforward premise: cloud platform purchasing decisions should be informed by reproducible benchmarks and hands-on testing, not vendor marketing materials or sponsored content. We saw a gap in the European technology media landscape for a publication that treats cloud infrastructure reviews with the same rigour that hardware review sites bring to processor and GPU evaluations.
Our editorial team comprises engineers and analysts who have built and operated production systems on every major cloud provider. Before joining ByteReview, our staff held engineering and architecture roles at companies including Google Cloud, Deloitte, and AnandTech. Every review we publish is grounded in controlled testing, and we make our benchmark scripts publicly available so that readers can reproduce our results.
ByteReview Digital B.V. is registered in the Netherlands (KVK 82451390) and operates independently. We carry no venture capital funding and accept no payment for editorial coverage. Advertising revenue is clearly separated from our editorial process, and sponsored content is always disclosed.

Oliver established ByteReview's benchmark methodology and oversees all editorial output. He holds professional certifications from AWS, GCP, and Azure, and publishes quarterly cross-platform comparison reports that are referenced by enterprise procurement teams across Europe.
Former solutions architect at Google Cloud, where she helped enterprise customers design multi-region architectures for mission-critical workloads. Sofia has authored over 120 articles for ByteReview covering cloud console usability, managed services, and platform migration strategies. She specialises in developer experience evaluation and infrastructure-as-code tooling comparisons.
Raj brings a hardware-review mindset to cloud infrastructure testing. Previously at AnandTech, where he benchmarked server processors and enterprise storage systems, he now applies the same disciplined methodology to cloud compute, block storage, and object storage services. Raj designs and maintains ByteReview's benchmark test suite, ensuring consistent and reproducible results across all evaluations.
CISM-certified security professional with eight years of experience in cloud security assessment. Anna spent four years at Deloitte advising enterprise clients on cloud compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIS2. At ByteReview, she leads our security posture evaluations and compliance scorecard reviews, translating complex regulatory requirements into actionable assessments for engineering and security teams.
Every ByteReview evaluation follows a standardised testing protocol developed and refined over four years of continuous benchmarking. We believe that a review is only as credible as its methodology, which is why we publish our test configurations, scripts, and raw data alongside every review.
ByteReview covers the full spectrum of cloud infrastructure and enterprise technology, with particular depth in the following domains:
