This guidance demonstrates how the OCPP Gateway acts as a proxy between OCPP and MQTT, enabling integration with AWS IoT Core and downstream CPO services built on AWS.

AWS Costs for Infrastructure Implementation #115

Open louis-monier opened 4 months ago

louis-monier commented 4 months ago

Hi there,

Do you have an estimate of the AWS expenses associated with deploying this infrastructure?

Many thanks

We do not have any formal cost analyses but have run some scenario calculations (using calculator.aws). The cost varies based on number of chargers because scaling of containers is linear but a step growth with the growth of connected charge points. Just running the OCPP gateway (not the business logic triggered by OCPP actions), which includes Fargate, NLB, SQS, and IoT, is estimated to cost between $2 and $3 per charge point per year at scale. I would recommend connecting with your AWS SA to do a deeper dive on the economics of your specific use case.
