But the actual execution time (calculated from the python client) is 24 seconds (aws) and 300+ seconds in gcp Oh OK, sorry, I wasn’t following. Yes, network speed sounds like the source of the problem. Under AWS sometimes we log into an EC2 instance if we have to run a query that generates a lot of data so that both server and client are inside AWS. If GCP has something similar to EC2, it might be an interesting experiment to run your query from there and see how much, if any, that changes the time it takes to get results.

My understanding is that EXPLAIN ANALYZE executes the query but discards the results. That doesn’t tell you the network speed of your AWS instance, but it does isolate the query execution speed (which is what I think you’re trying to measure) from the network speed. > > > > Hope this is useful. > > > > Cheers > > Philip > > > > > > > > > > > Em qua., 24 de fev. de 2021 às 10:35, Julien Rouhaud <rjuju123@xxxxxxxxx> escreveu: > > > Hi, > > > > > > On Wed, Feb 24, 2021 at 6:14 AM Maurici Meneghetti > > > <maurici.meneghetti@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > > > > I have 2 postgres instances created from the same dump (backup), one on a GCP VM and the other on AWS RDS.
