Cost
Important
The following cost estimations are examples and may vary depending on your environment.
You are responsible for the cost of AWS services used when running this solution. Deploying this solution will only create a solution web console in your AWS account, which is completely serverless and typically can be covered within free tier.
The majority of the cost for this solution is incurred by the data pipeline. As of this revision, the main factors affecting the solution cost include:
-
Ingestion module: the cost depends on the size of the ingestion server and the type of the data sink you choose.
-
Data processing and modeling module (optional): the cost depends on whether you choose to enabled this module and its relevant configurations
-
Enabled Dashboards (optional): the cost depends on whether you choose to enabled this module and its relevant configurations
-
Additional features
The following are cost estimations for monthly data volumes of 10/100/1000 RPS (request per second) with different data pipeline configurations. Cost estimation are provided by modules. To get a total cost for your use case, sum the cost by modules based on your actual configuration.
Important
As of this revision, the following cost is calculated with On-Demand prices in us-east-1 region measured in USD.

Data transfer
There are associated costs when data is transferred from EC2 to the downstream data sink. Below is an example of data transfer costs based on 1000 RPS and a 2KB request payload.
- EC2 Network In: This does not incur any costs.
-
EC2 Network Out: There are three data sink options:
Data Sink Type Way to access data sink Dimensions Total (USD/Month) S3 S3 Gateway endpoints The S3 Gateway endpoints does not incur any costs $0 MSK Data processed cost ($0.010 per GB in/out/between EC2 AZs) $210 KDS NAT NAT fixed cost: $64 (2 Availability Zones and a NAT per AZ, $0.045 per NAT Gateway Hour).
Data processed cost: $1201 ($0.045 per GB Data Processed by NAT Gateways).$1266 KDS VPC Endpoint VPC Endpoint fixed cost: $14.62 (Availability Zones $0.01 per AZ Hour).
Data processed cost: $267 ($0.01 per GB Data Processed by Interface endpoints).$281.62 We suggest using a VPC endpoint for the KDS data sink. For more information on using the VPC endpoint, please refer to the VPC endpoint documentation.
Data processing & data modeling modules
Data processing & modeling module include the following cost components if you choose to enable:
-
EMR Serverless
-
Redshift
Key assumptions include:
