Cost

You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services used while running this solution. The total cost for running this solution depends on the amount of data ingested, stored, and processed, the amount of data scanned by Amazon Athena queries, and the number of Amazon QuickSight readers and authors, along with their access time to dashboards. As of this revision, the cost for running this solution with the default settings in the US East (N. Virginia) Region (excludes free tier) with QuickSight is approximately $44.25 a month and$50.65 a month withGitHub and Secrets Manager. These costs are for the resources shown in the following tables.

We recommend creating a budget through AWS Cost Explorer to help manage costs. Prices are subject to change. For full details, see the pricing webpage for each AWS service used in this solution.

Note

This solution implements data partition and parquet data storage for performance optimization and cost reduction. When running your own queries, we recommend that you use the created_at(timestamp) partition key. For more information, refer to Performance tuning in Athena in the Amazon Athena User Guide.
