Wait you’re still paying $5 per day on an idle service?
That’s absurd.
That’s absurd.
$0 revenue, 0 customers, and thinks $5/day is acceptable. LOL.
OP, what are you even doing that requires $150/month of spend, especially given things are mostly idle?
My fuckup was setting --cpu 4 --memory 16Gi during initial migration and only optimizing instance counts, not resource sizing.
Didn't help that GCP has no hard spending cap. Budgets only send alerts (in my case 1 easy to miss alert saying you spent more than $50 this month), they don't stop charges... Looking at my credit card statement there are multiple $1-2k charges.
The incentives aren't exactly aligned toward helping you spend less.
Does GCP not have something equivalent to Aurora Serverless? [0]
It's more expensive if you are constantly using the database over the course of a month, but much less expensive if you only have bursty traffic.
