Pricing question #17

Closed ArielS1 closed 5 years ago

ArielS1 commented 6 years ago

Let's say i run this project to make a single call to a different webhook every 24 hours. Will the price be usage of 24 hours? or is it in "sleep mode" and i would only be charged for the minimum run time of 15 mins ones a day?

It seems to me you're incurring the minimum full time cost which comes to $36/mo which is insanely expensive for something like this.

Digging further, using a single app engine and low volume pub sub is free.

Cost estimates can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/solutions/reliable-task-scheduling-compute-engine#cost

If you use a single f1-micro VM as suggested, the cost is approximately $0.01/hour or $7.30/month. Alternatively, if you already have an existing VM, you can just deploy this on the side.
