Hosted Aidbox: A Cloud-Native Leader
Aidbox provides managed FHIR hosting across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud without vendor lock-in. Its containerized architecture allows instant scaling and global deployments. In contrast, Smile, Kodjin, and HAPI usually tie installations more tightly to a single cloud environment or require additional setup for multi-cloud.
Feature Analysis: Major Cloud Offerings
While Azure FHIR, AWS HealthLake, and Google Cloud Healthcare API all offer good base features, they focus on their respective ecosystems. Aidbox overlays consistent multi-cloud tooling, enabling healthcare organizations to move seamlessly between providers or operate in hybrid modes.

Migration Cases and Cost Breakdown
Case studies show hospitals switching from Azure-hosted FHIR to Aidbox for better interoperability with their analytics stack spread across clouds. Smile and HAPI migrations often involve more re-coding, while Kodjin’s smaller ecosystem limits flexibility.
