Managed Databases
This is for a managed stand-alone on-demand Postgresql instance running in us-east on a 8 cores 32GB server unless mentioned otherwise. Reported storage is capacity pricing per GB per month. IOPS and thhroughput costs might be extra.

Load Balancers
This is the pricing for a regional layer 7 load balancer running in us-east or central.
There are two pricing models for load balancers: Data Volume based and LCU based. The former is the most simple, you are charged primarily by the amount of data that goes in and out of the load balancer.
LCUs (Load Capacity Unit) measure the highest usage across a number of dimensions, usually new connections, active connections, processed bytes, and rule evaluations. The LCU includes a defined capacity in each of those dimensions and you are charged based on the maximum usage among these dimensions per hour. For example if one LCU includes a maximum of 1000 active connections and your usage was 12000 at one point during the hour, you are charged for 12 LCUs.
In all pricing models a base hourly price is added to the LCU or data processing cost.
Data transfer charges are extra unless mentioned otherwise. See network traffic for network prices.
| Name | Pricing | Limits |
|---|---|---|

Cloud Load Balancing Variant: HTTP/S Load Balancer |
Pricing Model: Data Volume Hourly charge: $0.028 / hour Data processing charge: $0.009 / GB SSL Termination: yes Network traffic charged extra: yes |
