Cost Explorer

Amorphic Cost Explorer allows you to keep track of the costs associated with the usage of AWS services and the Amorphic platform over a period of a month. This feature provides you with an overview of the costs you incur and also gives you the ability to drill down and see the cost incurred for each individual service.

The "Usage by Service" section allows you to examine the cost breakdown per service and permits you to choose the specific service for which you wish to view the cost details. This feature helps you in monitoring your expenditure and helps in optimizing your usage of the services. You will also get alerts about resources every twelve hours to clean up or terminate desired resources for cost saving purposes.

You can view two type of costings:

  • Licenses & Billings - Costs you incur over a month for AWS services and Amorphic platform.
  • High Costing Resources - Shows active high costing resources in the application.

Note

As the name suggests, Cost Explorer displays an approximate EstimatedCost of a resource (Eg. Streams, Endpoints, etc.), hence, the cost calculation will vary if any of the resource is modified(updated) by user.

Whenever a resource gets modified by user, cost will be re-estimated based on the newly updated configuration(Eg. InstanceClass, AllocatedStorage, etc.) of a resource. Hence we try to show an EstimatedCost based on most recent configuration of a resource.
