RisingWave Cloud offers a flexible pricing model based on your usage and the resources consumed within your organization. This guide will help you understand how the pricing works in RisingWave Cloud.
The Trial plan is offered for free. This plan equips you with all the essential resources needed to test and experience the features offered by RisingWave.
The Standard plan operates on a pay-as-you-go model. You only pay for your actual usage, which includes compute resources, storage capacity, and network usage.
Compute resources: Compute resources are measured in RisingWave Unit (RWU) hours used across all projects in the organization. See the explanation of RWU below. In each RisingWave project, the usages are tracked for all four components:
Storage capacity: RisingWave Cloud bills the storage in per GB-month increments at a second rate. You pay for the storage capacity of the data your RisingWave project persisted during stream processing, such as tables, materialized views, and internal states.
Network: Network usage is billed based on data transfer. For detailed information about network billing, see Network billing.
See the pricing information below for the cost of compute resources and storage capacity in different regions.
The Advanced plan offers a customized pricing model based on your specific needs. Unlike other plans, the billing details for Advanced projects aren’t directly displayed in the billing system. The usage for Advanced projects is monitored in the backend and your invoices are generated based on a customized base price. While the pricing model aligns with the Standard plan, we provide a custom offer to match your specific needs. Please reach out to our sales for your customized offer.
In RisingWave Cloud, the RisingWave Unit (RWU) is the standard measure for the computing resources you use. Each RWU represents a specific amount of vCPU and memory.The number of RWUs for a component is calculated based on its vCPU and memory allocation using this formula:RWU = MAX(vCPU, Memory in GB / 4)This means 1 RWU is equivalent to 1 vCPU or 4 GB of memory, whichever value is higher.Your total charge is based on the RWU-hours consumed by all components in your project. For instance, using 1 RWU for 1 hour equals 1 RWU-hour.
To better understand how pricing works in RisingWave Cloud, let’s consider a hypothetical scenario.Suppose you’ve provisioned a RisingWave project with the following configuration:
3 Serving nodes, each with 2 RWUs
3 Streaming nodes, each with 8 RWUs
1 Meta Node with 4 RWUs
1 Compactor Node with 4 RWUs
In total, the project utilizes 41 RWUs and stores 20GB of data. The project operated for 700 hours in the past month. The project also transferred 1TB (1024GB) of public ingress data and 20GB of public egress data.Suppose the base price for your region is $0.227 per RWU-hour for compute resources and $0.0299 per GB-month for storage capacities. The network transfer rates are $0.07 per GB for public ingress and $0.17 per GB for public egress.Given these details, your bill for this project for the past month will be calculated as follows:
