Cost - Serverless Bot Framework
Example cost table

Cost

You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services used while running the Serverless Bot Framework solution, which can vary based on the following factors:

  • Number of Amazon API Gateway requests per month

  • Number of AWS Lambda invocations per month

  • Amazon DynamoDB write/read requests per month—the Serverless Bot Framework solution logs all interactions between the user and the solution's microservices to DynamoDB. It also logs the bot's context to maintain user's session information between microservices.

  • Number of characters processed by Amazon Polly per month: the solution uses Amazon Polly to turn text into lifelike speech to allow the serverless bot to talk to users.

  • Number of active users per month authenticated with Amazon Cognito.

  • Number of text requests to Amazon Lex per month.

This solution is based entirely on serverless AWS services. Therefore, when the solution is not in use, you only pay for data storage.

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