Where can I see my actual cost for Azure Cosmos backups? They are nowhere to be found in the portal or on the invoice.
When you create or use Azure Cosmos DB resources, you might get charged for the following meters:
Database operations - You're charged for it based on the request units(RU/s) provisioned or consumed:
Standard (manual) provisioned throughput - You are billed an hourly rate for the RU/s provisioned on your container or database.
Auto scale provisioned throughput - You are billed based on the maximum number of RU/s the system scaled up to in each hour.
Consumed storage - You're charged for it based the total amount of storage (in GBs) consumed by your data and indexes for a given hour.
There is an additional charge in case you are using the Azure Cosmos DB features like backup storage, analytical storage, Availability zones, Multi-region writes. At the end of your billing cycle, the charges for each meter are summed. Your bill or invoice shows a section for all Azure Cosmos DB costs. There's a separate line item for each meter. To learn more, see the Pricing article.
If you want to view the cost in the Azure portal , you can go to Azure cost analysis report in the Azure cost management blade from your subscription the resource was created by filtering cost by resource.
Please also note: Azure Cosmos DB accounts that have continuous backup enabled will incur an additional monthly charge to store the backup and to restore your data. The restore cost is added every time the restore operation is initiated. If you configure an account with continuous backup but don't restore the data, only backup storage cost is included in your bill.

Why does Azure Cosmos DB take so long to deploy? When I tried deploying Azure Cosmos DB (SQL API) via ARM template, it took ~20 min for deployment to complete. Why is that?
Deployment for a new Cosmos account requires involves multiple underlying resources and there are a number of steps involved that must be done in series to provision and connect these resources before the account is ready to accept requests.
Things that can impact provision time include, number child resources (databases, containers), number of regions and amount of throughput. In addition there can be other factors as well including the number of control plane operations overall in a region.
All that said, we are working on optimizations designed to reduce the amount of time it takes to provision new Cosmos DB accounts.
Hope that helps.
I just provisioned a new Cosmos DB today and it took a little less than 10 minutes. East US region.
I'm using the firebase realtime database for my Flutter app,
I don't see anything (in the documentation) about costs when you write data to the database.
So if I do the following.
dataRef = FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference().child('myChild');
await dataRef.update({
't': 'test',
});
I can do it for example 100 times without getting billed (also in the admin SDK?).
Except the SSL handshake (only once per session) and the data storage cost (5 dollars/month).
Is this correct?
Thanks in advance!
You don't get billed per write and read. In real time database you get billed based on the gigabytes stored in the database and based on the data downloaded.
Firebase bills for the data you store in your database and all outbound network traffic at the session layer (layer 5) of the OSI model. Storage is billed at $5 for each GB/month, evaluated daily. Outbound traffic includes connection and encryption overhead from all database operations and data downloaded through database reads. Both database reads and writes can lead to connection costs on your bill. All traffic to and from your database, including operations denied by security rules, leads to billable costs

I want to see the partitions where there is a lot of reads and writes
I also want to see the partitions where there's been no crud operations for long, so that I can clean it up
is that possible in cosmos db ?
Question: I want to know what are the partitions which are hot or inactive,
having to read or write on it
According to your further description,you want to know the distribute situations of requests cross your multiple partitions.
Actually,that metric could be touched in the Azure Portal Metrics Throughput tab.
You could determine the throughput distribution of any partitioned container broken down by partitions.More details,please refer to this document.
I am a Google blaze plan user and I have an express server containing a simple endpoint that just pulls from firestore. During high traffic hours, I can retrieve 5000+ simultaneous read requests which eventually throws this error below,
Error: 8 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: Quota exceeded.
After I wait a few minutes I am able to read the collection again.
Update:
Unsure why the downvotes without any explainations.. but I also have a Mutex system which I think may be leading to hitting these limits. If fails to lock a document using transactions, it goes down an array of snapshots until a lock is given. If the array becomes empty, it does another read to firebase for another set of N documents, which is only 50 in my case.
So my question is, is there a limit on the amount of transactions or reads per second that we're allowed to do from a single connection (my express server)? I don't think it's stated anywhere in the documents.
It looks like you're reaching one of the read/write/transaction limits stated in this page.
Might be this one Maximum writes per second per database: 10,000 (up to 10 MiB per second) but I'm only guessing...
To answer your question, according to this link, the maximum concurrent connections for mobile/web clients per Firebase database is 1,000,000. Thus, your connections seem to not exceed the limits.
For the Blaze Plan project, the limit for Cloud Firestore Document Read is 50K/day, since free usage from Spark Plan is included in Blaze Plan. The limit is such, unless you have set any budget limit in your Billing account. The usage will be reset at midnight of PST. If you upgrade your plan to Flame Plan, the limit is 250K/day.
Here you may read about the official Cloud Firestore Quotas and limits, such as maximum document reads, maximum size for a document, that can be useful. Furthermore you may monitor your database usage and check your plan's limits from the “Usage” tab in the Firebase console. You can check usage over the current billing period, the last 30 days, or the last 24 hours.
Stackdriver Monitoring is also a practical tool for monitoring document reads/writes/deletes, active connections and snapshot listeners.
A good practice, if you want to avoid unexpected charges on your billing account, would be to create an alerting policy based on the Cloud Firestore metrics, as stated here.
Additionally, you can estimate and verify your monthly costs on the “Blaze Plan” by using this Blaze Plan calculator.
For anyone who runs into this issue in the future, please check your App Engine budget settings under "Application Settings". I set the daily spending limit to avoid unnecessary charges during testing and it slipped my mind. I increased the budget and the error is currently gone.
AWS usually sends me an email when my budget has been exceeded.
Everything here https://firebase.google.com/pricing/ that says "/GB" in Blaze plan, if I have less than GB will the price be calculated lower (like Amazon Web Service's) or billed as full GB?
Want to move from AWS but my app has rather small database/storage but requires large amount of access that it exceeded Spark plan. It would be a shame if Firebase bill me full $5 for realtime database that have barely anything. (In that case stick with AWS might be better)
I know this should go to their support but unfortunately this page https://firebase.google.com/support/ told me to come here, and their direct support is capped at 5 times per year..
Prorated. Calculated lower.
Storage charges are prorated on a per-object basis

(referenced as "2) This is the estimated pricing for common usage. Firebase Storage free limits are enforced daily and refreshed at midnight Pacific Time. In the Blaze plan, fees for Firebase Storage are based on usage volume. Firebase Storage usage fees are processed as Google Cloud Storage usage fees.
