How the estimate is built
The standard deployment is priced by these components (methodology). A quantity is a formula over the workload variables; free allowances are subtracted first, and a tier prices only its own band.
| Component | Line item | Quantity | Free | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scale compute units (calculator sizing from monthly ingest, 2 replicas) | ClickHouse Cloud compute - Scale tier (AWS us-east-1) · per custom · on-demand, metered per minute | hours * max(2, ceil((log_gb + span_gb + metric_samples_million * 0.1) / 1000 / 13)) | ||
| Storage, logs and spans 30 days (10x compressed) | ClickHouse Cloud storage (AWS us-east-1) · per gb-retained-month · on-demand | (log_gb + span_gb) / 10 | ||
| Storage, metrics 13 months (10x compressed, 100 B/datapoint) | ClickHouse Cloud storage (AWS us-east-1) · per gb-retained-month · on-demand | metric_samples_million * 0.1 / 10 * 13 |
