    Hardware and spare parts costs
    The cost of a TDSQL-C for MySQL instance. For example, the cost of an instance with 4 CPUs, 8 GB memory, and 100 GB storage space is about 10,000 CNY per year.
    At least two CVM instances are required as primary and replica instances. The cost of two CVM instances, each with 4 CPUs, 8 GB memory, and 100 GB storage space (with an IOPS capability of 4,800), is about 10,000 CNY per year.
    At least two database servers are required. The cost of each server, with an IOPS capability of 8,000, is about 8,000 CNY. One private network switch is used for connecting to the front-end web server (a cheap 1U unmanaged switch costs about 1,000 CNY). Subsequent hardware damage and replacement will incur at least an additional 30% in costs. Hardware cost: (8,000 × 2 + 1,000) × 130% = 22,100 CNY. Annual cost: 22,100 CNY/3 = 7,366 CNY (hardware is depreciated over 3 years).
    Server room hosting costs
    Covered by service provider, no charge.
    Covered by service provider, no charge.
    The hosting cost for 1U cabinet space is 3,000 CNY/year. There are two 1U servers and one 1U private network switch that need to be billed. Server room hosting cost: 3,000 × 3 = 9,000 CNY.
    Bandwidth costs
    Covered by service provider, no charge.
    Within the same region, CVM instances can communicate through the private network without incurring charges. If in different regions, CVM instances can communicate through the public network, and public network traffic fees will be charged.
    For private network use only. There are no public network charges.
    Database O&M engineer costs
    Managed O&M, quickly resolving various failures. AI tools assist in resolving optimization issues. Database maintenance is covered by the service provider, with no personnel costs.
    For a junior DBA engineer, assuming the current project occupies 30% of the engineer's workload, the personnel cost for one year would be around 20,000 CNY.

    TDSQL-C for MySQL
    Database Built with CVM
    Database Built with Self-purchased Server
    Database monitoring system
    Second-level monitoring data for 79+ metrics is provided for free.
    At least one CVM instance is required for monitoring, collection, storage, and display. The cost of one CVM instance with 4 CPUs, 8 GB memory, and 300 GB storage space (approximate storage capacity for one year's monitoring metrics) is about 7,000 CNY per year.
    At least one database server is required. The cost of the server is about 8,000 CNY. Subsequent hardware damage and replacement will incur at least an additional 30% in costs. Hardware cost: (8,000 × 1) × 130% = 10,400 CNY. Annual cost: 10,400 CNY/3 = 3,466 CNY (hardware is depreciated over 3 years).
    Database O&M system
    Covered by service provider, no charge.
    The annual cost of a professional database O&M system is about 40,000 CNY.
    The annual cost of a professional database O&M system is about 40,000 CNY.
    Database backup system
    Currently free
    At least one CVM instance is required for backup system storage. The cost of one CVM instance with 4 CPUs, 8 GB memory, and 200 GB storage space (can only retain 200 GB of backup data) is about 6,000 CNY per year, and you need to build the backup and recovery capabilities on your own.
    At least one database server is required. The cost of the server is about 8,000 CNY. One private network switch is used for connecting to the backup server (a cheap 1U unmanaged switch costs about 1,000 CNY). Subsequent hardware damage and replacement will incur at least an additional 30% in costs. Hardware cost: (8,000 × 1 + 1,000) × 130% = 11,700 CNY. Annual cost: 11,700 CNY/3 = 3,900 CNY (hardware is depreciated over 3 years).
