Estimate cost
See a rough monthly bill for what is running in pogi, from your resources and traffic.
The Cost page in the console works out a monthly bill from the resources you created and the traffic your code sent. It also puts the total in the sidebar and on the Home page.
See your estimate
- Run your code or tests against pogi for a realistic stretch of time. The estimate comes from a rate, so a very short run gives a poor guide.
- Open
http://localhost:7644/, or choose Cost in the console sidebar._pogi/ cost - For AWS, pick a region at the top. Prices change with it. The default is your pogi region, or
us-east-1if that region is not in the price list. - Read the "What drives it" column. It shows the numbers behind each row.
How the estimate works
| Part | How it is counted |
|---|---|
| Resources | Always-on resources (a database, a VM, a Service Bus namespace) are billed for a full month of 730 hours. |
| Traffic | pogi counts each service's requests since it started, turns that into a rate and scales it to 30 days. The page shows how many requests it counted and over how much uptime. It then splits a service's requests among its resources. |
| Prices | On-demand list prices. No free tier and no discount. |
What is priced
| Cloud | Priced services |
|---|---|
| AWS | EC2, S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS and SQS, from an AWS price list built into pogi. SNS, Kinesis, Step Functions, API Gateway (REST and HTTP), CloudWatch Logs, Secrets Manager and KMS, from a fixed price table. |
| Google Cloud | Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Firestore and Cloud SQL. Prices are for us-central1. |
| Azure | Blob Storage, Functions, Service Bus (Standard tier, including its base fee), Cosmos DB (serverless) and Virtual Machines. Prices are for East US, Linux, pay-as-you-go. |
Anything else shows as "not priced" and adds nothing to the total, so the real bill could be higher.
Guesses pogi makes about traffic
- A quarter of storage requests are writes or lists. The rest are reads.
- An average log event or message is half a kilobyte.
- A Step Functions run passes through five states, unless it is an Express machine, which is billed per run.
- An average Cosmos DB request costs 5 request units.
- Firestore traffic is 80 percent reads and 20 percent writes.
The Cost page is part of the console. It has no CLI command or REST endpoint.
