That $0.14/hour is the amount of processing you do, not the hourly cost to use the service.
$1226.4 is if you're hammering the data-base with intense queries 100% of the time (so it's always being utilised).
In reality (though this depends on how efficient their database is) it'll likely be orders of magnitude smaller.
- rms 19y agoSo $.14/hour is for a full unit of processing for an hour? What's the smallest amount of processing you can get?
- sadiq 19y ago"SimpleDB costs 14 cents per machine hour, with no minimum fee." I guess we won't know the costs in reality until the service is up. It pretty much all depends on how efficient their implementation is.
- DarrenStuart 19y agoso if you get one hit to the db per hour then you are going to end up paying for it big time.
- sadiq 19y agoHow exactly? If a query takes 1ms, you're going to pay for one sixty-thousanth of $0.14 . I fail to see what you're doing? Or am I missing something?
- DarrenStuart 19y agoI thought it was charged like this, if you use it once then the minimum amount you will be charged is for an hours usage per hour. but it could end up really expensive if you are hitting your database a lot. 100k users hitting a 2 second query per view ain't going to be cheap.
- tlrobinson 19y agoNo. Machine Utilization - $0.14 per Amazon SimpleDB Machine Hour consumed Amazon SimpleDB measures the machine utilization of each request and charges based on the amount of machine capacity used to complete the particular request (QUERY, GET, PUT, etc.), normalized to the hourly capacity of a circa 2007 1.7 GHz Xeon processor.
