Pricing

Overview​

Dragonfly Cloud applies a transparent usage-based pricing model with the following components:

You can track your usage and costs under the Account > Usage tab in Dragonfly Cloud. The usage and cost information is updated every few hours. However, data transfer and backup storage costs may take up to 24 hours to reflect. Read on for more details about each component.

Active Data Stores​

Data stores incur charges for every prorated hour they are active. The cost is determined by:

  • Provisioned Memory Size1
  • Compute Performance Tier2
  • Cloud Provider & Region

Additional notes about active data store costs:

  • Updating a data store configuration only affects its cost once the update is complete and the new configuration is active.
  • Deleted data stores do not incur any charges.

Active Data Store Cost Calculation​

You can use the following tools to get an accurate estimate of your active data store costs:

  • Use the pricing calculator to estimate the cost of a data store based on its memory size, cloud provider, and region.
  • In Dragonfly Cloud, the data store cost (excluding data transfer cost and backup storage cost) is displayed every time you create or update a data store.

Active Data Store Cost Example​

To illustrate with an example, let's consider a Dragonfly Cloud data store that is:

  • Configured with 12.5 GB of provisioned memory on the Enhanced compute tier.
  • Configured with 2 zones, one primary and one replica.
  • Located in the AWS us-east-1 region.
  • Active for 2 days, 1 hour, and 10 minutes.

The cost of this data store can be calculated as follows:

  • Cost for 1 GB of the Enhanced compute tier data store in the AWS us-east-1 region = $11.0 per month.
  • Total hours used: 2 days x 24 hours per day + 1 hour + 10 minutes (rounded up to 1 hour) = 50 hours.
  • Total hours in a month: 365 days / 12 months x 24 hours per day = 730 hours per month.
  • Total cost: $11 x 12.5 GB x 2 zones x 50 hours / 730 hours per month = $18.84

Data Transfer​

  • Data transfer fees are costs imposed by cloud providers for moving data across various destinations, including between clouds, the public internet, different cloud regions, and even between availability zones within the same region.
  • Dragonfly Cloud applies public data transfer fee rates set by cloud vendors for data store traffic. For detailed and specific pricing, please refer to the AWS and GCP pages.
  • To reduce data transfer expenses, using data stores with private endpoints is recommended.
  • Additionally, data stores with high availability configuration may incur charges for cross-availability-zone traffic within the cloud provider's network.

Backup Storage​

  • Backup storage costs $0.1 per GB per month, prorated hourly.
