Documentdb Pricing

To manage DocumentDB costs effectively, architects must leverage specific features designed for cost efficiency. The most prominent of these is the distinction between and Serverless capacity. DocumentDB Serverless is designed for intermittent or unpredictable workloads. It abstracts the instance selection entirely, charging based on capacity consumed (ACU - Amazon Capacity Units) and standard storage fees. For applications with idle periods, Serverless can offer significant savings compared to running provisioned instances 24/7.

For example, if you consume 100 RUs in West US 2 for 1 hour, your cost would be $0.025. documentdb pricing

Furthermore, developers must utilize and TTL (Time to Live) indexes judiciously. While Change Streams are essential for event-driven architectures, they generate additional I/O operations that are billable. Similarly, TTL indexes allow for the automatic deletion of expired data, which is a crucial mechanism for controlling storage volume and, by extension, storage costs.
