Pricing and billing

The costs include database pricing for BigAnimal and the associated costs from other providers. You can also view usage and metering information.

Database pricing

Pricing is based on the number of virtual central processing units (vCPUs) provisioned for the database software offering. Consumption of vCPUs is metered hourly. A deployment is typically made up of either one instance or one primary and two standby replica instances of either PostgreSQL or EDB Postgres Advanced Server. When high-availability configurations are enabled, multiply the number of vCPUs per instance by the number of replicas configured to calculate the full price for all resources used. This table shows the cost breakdown.

Extreme high availability powered by EDB Postgres Distributed is now available in beta! Contact Sales for more information about pricing.

* The monthly cost is approximate and assumes 730 hours in a month.

Cloud infrastructure costs

Whether you're connecting directly to BigAnimal through your Microsoft Azure or AWS account, EDB doesn't bill you for cloud infrastructure, such as compute, storage, data transfer, monitoring, and logging.

Your cloud provider bills you directly for the cloud infrastructure provisioned according to the terms of your account agreement.

• AWS provides invoice information on the AWS Billing and Cost Management console. Learn more.

Management costs

To give you full control over your data, BigAnimal deploys infrastructure in each region to manage the clusters in that region. BigAnimal doesn’t charge you for this infrastructure. Microsoft Azure and AWS bill directly for the infrastructure according to the terms of your account agreement.

If you deploy a large number of clusters in a single region, for example, more than 30, BigAnimal might deploy additional management infrastructure to support your workloads. In addition, BigAnimal provisions a number of other free resources in your account to help with management.

If you want to remove management resources provisioned from your cloud provider, contact Support.

Apache Superset costs

Enabling Apache Superset to analyze your data has an added cost. In most cases the costs are approximately $150 per month, based on your cloud provider, instance and storage type selections, and other factors.

Billing

If you're using Microsoft Azure Marketplace, all billing is handled directly by Microsoft Azure. This includes infrastructure costs as well as database costs. For database costs, Microsoft bills on actual hours in a given month. You can view invoices and usage on the Microsoft Azure Portal billing page. Learn more.

If you're using your own Microsoft Azure or AWS account, database billing is handled by EDB. Usage details are included in your invoice. Account owners can download a usage report in CSV format from the BigAnimal Usage page and can set the time frame, database type, and cloud provider prior to downloading the report. The information on the page is refreshed hourly.
