ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Cloud About ScyllaDB Cloud as a Service Costs

Costs¶

Payment options¶

ScyllaDB Cloud, as a cloud service, allows you to either pay on demand or with an annual one year subscription. The default payment option is to pay by the hour, on demand, based on the cluster size and deployment location.

Price calculation¶

  • ScyllaDB Cloud license per instance

  • Extract metrics (optional)

  • Back to back cloud cost, for example for AWS:

    • Type of nodes

    • Number of nodes

    • The region in which the cluster was deployed in

    • Number Data Centers (DC)

    • Backups on S3

    • Data transfer to/from the cluster

    • Data transfer between Availability zones in side the cluster

Note: If you choose to deploy ScyllaDB Cloud services within your own AWS account, you will pay AWS costs directly to AWS and the ScyllaDB Cloud services directly to ScyllaDB.

To learn more about ScyllaDB Cloud pricing, see our capacity planning calculator.

Optimizing Costs¶

  • You can decrease your costs by purchasing an annual subscription (vs on-demand). To purchase an annual subscription, contact our sales team.

  • If you deploy your cluster on GCP, you can customize your cluster’s storage size per instance, allowing you to pay only for the extra storage. This solution is helpful if your workload is storage-bound rather than CPU-bound. For example, for the n2-highmem-2 instance type, you can increase the storage size from 375 GB (default) to 750 GB.
