This was the old version of the pricing policy that was effective between January 1 and March 1, 2019. To learn more about the current Managed Service for PostgreSQL pricing policy, see Pricing policy.

What goes into the cost of using Managed Service for PostgreSQLWhat goes into the cost of using Managed Service for PostgreSQL

The Managed Service for PostgreSQL usage cost is based on:

• Disk type and storage size.

• Host class selected for the cluster.

• Number of DB hosts per cluster.

• Settings and number of backups.

• Amount of outgoing traffic.

In all calculations, 1 GB = 2³⁰ bytes.

DB host usageDB host usage

The cost is calculated for each hour of the host's operation in accordance with its class. You can find detailed class specifications in the Host classes section.

The minimum billing unit is one hour (for example, the cost of 1.5 hours of operation is the same as the cost of 2 hours of operation). You are not charged for the time when the PostgreSQL host is not performing its main functions.

Disk space usageDisk space usage

You are charged for the following:

• Storage allocated for DB clusters.

  • Storage on fast local disks (local-ssd) can only be ordered for clusters with more than 3 hosts in 100 GB increments.

• Space used by DB backups in excess of the storage amount specified for the cluster.

  • Backups are stored free of charge as long as the combined size of the DB and all backups is smaller than the selected storage size.

  • During an automatic backup, Managed Service for PostgreSQL does not create a new copy but saves changes to the database compared to the previous copy. This means that the storage used by automatic backups increases only in proportion to the volume of changes that are made.

  • The number of hosts in the cluster does not affect the size of the storage and, consequently, of free backups.

The cost is specified for one month of use. The minimum billing unit is 1 GB per hour (for example, the cost of storing 1 GB for 1.5 hours is equal to the cost of storage for 2 hours).

Egress trafficEgress traffic

When using the service, you pay for the traffic from the Yandex Cloud to the internet. The traffic between Yandex Cloud services and the incoming traffic from the internet are free of charge.

The minimum charging unit is 1 MB. The price of a gigabyte of traffic changes depending on the amount of egress traffic in a given month.
