Cost Analysis

AWS Fargate

  • Number of tasks or pods:

    • 33 per day * (730 hours in a month / 24 hours in a day) = 1003.75 per month

  • Average duration:

    • 22 minutes = 0.37 hours

  • Cost Calculation:

    • vCPU hours:
      • 1,003.75 tasks x 4 vCPU x 0.37 hours x $0.04048 per hour = $60.14
    • GB hours:
      • 1,003.75 tasks x 8.00 GB x 0.37 hours x $0.004445 per GB per hour = $13.21
    • Ephemeral storage:
      • 20 GB - 20 GB (no additional charge) = 0.00 GB billable ephemeral storage per task

  • Total Cost:

    • $60.14 for vCPU hours + $13.21 for GB hours = $73.35
    • Fargate cost (monthly): $73.35 for 1000 videos a month

AWS EC2

  • Savings Plans vs. On-Demand Instances:

    • For utilization over the breakeven point (459.974490 hours), EC2 Instance Savings Plans are more cost-effective than On-Demand Instances.

  • Savings Plans Cost:

    • Upfront cost: $0.00
    • 1 instance x 730 hours in a month = 730 EC2 Instance Savings Plans instance hours per month
    • 730 EC2 Instance Savings Plans instance hours per month x $0.098800 = $72.12

  • On-Demand Instances Cost:

    • 0 On-Demand instance hours per month x $0.156800 = $0.00

  • Total Cost:

    • $0.00 (On-Demand) + $72.12 (Savings Plans) = $72.12
    • Note: You will pay an hourly commitment for Savings Plans, and your usage will be accrued at a discounted rate against this commitment.

AWS S3

  • Cost:
    • Negligible as files are deleted after transcoding

AWS SQS

  • Pricing:
    • Free for the first 1 million requests
    • $0.40 per million requests for standard queues
    • $0.50 per million requests for FIFO queues

Cloudflare R2

  • Costs:

    • Cost per GB/month: $0.015
    • Cost for 1TB/month: $15
    • Cost of Class A Operations (PUT, COPY): First million requests/month free or $4.50 per million requests
    • Cost for 3 million Class A Operations requests: $9
    • Cost of Class B Operations (READ): First 10 million requests/month free or $0.36 per million requests

  • Assumptions:

    • Each 1-hour video = 400 segments
    • 400 x 1000 = 400,000 segments
    • Each segment is streamed 100 times/month = 400,000 x 100 = 40,000,000 reads

  • Cost Calculation:

    • Cost for Class B Operations reads: (40,000,000 - 10,000,000) / 1,000,000 x $0.36 = $10.80

  • Total Cost:

    • $15 (storage) + $9 (Class A Operations) + $10.80 (Class B Operations) = $34.80

Total Cost So Far

  • $72.12 (EC2) + $34.80 (Cloudflare R2) = $106.92

Cheapest Transcoding Service

  • Cost:
    • Per minute: $0.01500
    • Per 1-hour video: $0.90
    • For 1000 videos: $0.90 x 1000 = $900

AWS Elastic Transcoder

  • Cost:
    • Per minute: $0.03
    • Per hour: $0.03 x 60 = $1.80
    • For 1000 videos: $1.80 x 1000 = $1800

Note: The cost of AWS Elastic Transcoder exceeds the budget by approximately 59 times for just transcoding.
