Understanding Pricing

Epycbyte KV pricing is structured to provide clear limits and charges for additional usage. Here’s a breakdown of the key metrics:

• Requests: The number of Redis commands made to your KV stores.

  • Included: First 30,000 requests per month.
  • Additional Requests: $0.35 per 1,000 requests beyond the included limit.

• Data Transfer: The amount of data transferred between your KV stores and compute endpoints.

  • Included: First 256 MB per month.
  • Additional Data Transfer: $0.10 per GB beyond the included limit.

• Storage: The maximum amount of data stored across all KV stores.

  • Included: First 512 MB per month.
  • Additional Storage: $0.25 per GB beyond the included limit.

• Databases: The number of KV databases (including read replicas).

  • Included: First database per plan.
  • Additional Databases: $1.00 per additional database, up to the plan maximum.

Managing KV Requests

The Requests chart tracks the total number of Redis commands made to your KV stores. Each plan includes a set number of requests, with additional charges for usage beyond this limit.

Optimizing KV Requests

• Replicate Databases: Distribute data across multiple regions to reduce latency and improve availability.
• Read Replicas: Use read replicas to offload reads and distribute traffic, but be mindful that each write operation will incur charges for both the primary database and its replicas.
• Limit Unused Queries: Reduce unnecessary queries to avoid incurring charges on unused resources.

Optimizing KV Data Transfer

The Data Transfer chart shows the amount of data transferred between your KV stores and compute endpoints. Exceeding included limits incurs additional costs.

Strategies

• Minimize Redundant Transfers: Avoid transferring data unnecessarily.
• Optimize Data Sizes: Compress or minimize data sizes before transfer to reduce costs.
• Use Caching: Implement caching mechanisms to reduce repetitive data transfers and improve efficiency.

Managing KV Storage

The Storage chart displays the maximum amount of data stored across all KV stores. Costs are incurred for storage beyond the included limits.

Optimization Tips

• Delete Unused Data: Regularly clean up data that is no longer needed.
• Optimize Data Structure: Use efficient data structures to minimize storage requirements.
• Limit Read Replicas: Reducing read replicas can help lower storage costs, as they count toward your storage usage.

Managing KV Databases

The Databases chart shows the number of active KV databases and their read replicas. Costs are based on the number of databases and read replicas beyond plan limits.

Optimization Strategies

• Delete Unused Read Replicas: If read replicas are no longer needed, remove them to reduce storage and database costs.
• Plan Database Growth: Ensure your database configuration aligns with expected growth to avoid over-provisioning.
• Monitor Database Activity: Regularly review database usage to optimize performance without unnecessary costs.

Observability and Cost Tracking

To effectively manage your KV resources, monitor key metrics such as request volume, data transfer, storage usage, and database activity. Tools like Epycbyte’s dashboard provide insights into resource utilization and cost tracking.

Continuous Monitoring

• Regularly review your KV usage to identify trends or spikes that may indicate optimization opportunities.
• Adjust your resource allocation based on changing workloads to maintain cost efficiency.

Conclusion

By understanding and optimizing your Epycbyte KV resources, you can achieve better performance while minimizing costs. Regular monitoring, efficient data management, and strategic use of read replicas are key to optimizing your KV usage.
