Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Cosmos should be cheaper. We actually intend to stop using it in the near future because the price is too high."
  • "There is a licensing fee."
  • "For the cloud, we don't pay for the license, but for the on-prem versions, we do pay."
  • "Cosmos DB is a PaaS, so there are no upfront costs for infrastructure. There are only subscriptions you pay for Azure and things like that. But it's a PaaS, so it's a subscription service. The license isn't perpetual, and the cost might seem expensive on its face, but you have to look at the upkeep for infrastructure and what you're saving."
  • "The price of Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB could be a bit lower."
  • "The cost is the biggest limitation of this solution."
  • "Azure is a pay as you go subscription."
  • "The RU's use case determines our license fees."

The platform combines open source technologies with best of breed hardware for ultimate performance. We used the experience we have building the systems that power some of the busiest web sites and applications to create an optimised, scalable, reliable, and easy to use database as a service.
