Pricing FAQ

What is the billing granularity for the VM?

There is a one-hour minimum charge per VM. Your hosted Extend usage is calculated by the hour from the time an VM is launched until it's terminated.

What determines my VM consumption?

Consumption depends on the specific application's implementation and resources (CPU and memory) and the frequency of requests received by the Extend apps. Extend will do horizontal auto-scaling to support increasing player count.

Are there ways to keep Extend cost low?

Yes, you can keep your Extend cost low by managing your usage as follows:

  • VM-Hours:
    1. Stop Extend apps when they are not in use.
    2. Allocate just enough resources for your Extend apps so that you can maximize the number of apps running on a single VM.
  • Data Transfer Egress: Reduce your data transfer egress by minimizing the volume of data you send to the internet.
  • Logs ingested: Generate only the necessary logs for troubleshooting in production setting.

Pricing FAQ

What is the App instance-hour and how is it calculated?

The Extend app instance is the instance that serves incoming requests. For example, a game developer creates an Extend app named job-progression. To service 1,000 requests per second, the Extend app needs to scale up to 10 instances. If it goes down to 500 requests per second, the job-progression Extend app scales down to five instances.

Extend app instance-hour is calculated based on how many hours the Extend app instance runs. For example, if there are 5 Extend app instances running for two hours, your bill will be 5 Extend app instances x 2 hours x $0.198 = $1.98.

What is the billing granularity for the Extend app instance?

There is a one-hour minimum charge per app instance. Your hosted Extend usage is calculated by the hour from the time an instance is launched until it's terminated or stopped.

What determines my consumption of the Extend app instance?

Consumption depends on the specific implementation of Extend and the frequency of requests made to the Extend app. Extend will do horizontal auto-scale to support increasing player count.
