Archil scales with your application, and you only pay for the data that you’re actively using. When you’re not using data, it’s removed from the Archil cache layer, and you don’t pay for it.

Archil has usage-based pricing on the following dimensions:

Cache Storage

$0.20 per GiB-month for high-speed cache, metered each minute

File System

  • $25.00 per month for accessing to Archil, including the first file system
  • $5.00 per month for each additional file system

Each Archil file system includes 10 GiB-month of free cache storage.

​
Pricing Example

Let’s walk through an example of how to calculate the monthly cost for a typical workload.

​
Scenario

  • 1 file system
  • 1 TB (1,000 GiB) dataset in S3
  • 200 GiB of data cached for 2 days

​
Monthly Costs Breakdown

Cache Storage

  • Cache usage: 200 GB × 2 days
  • Monthly usage: 200 GiB × (2 days / 30 days) = 13.33 GiB-months
  • Billable usage: 13.33 GiB-months − 10 GiB included = 3.33 GiB-months
  • 3.33 GiB-months × $0.20 = $0.67
  • Total Cache: $0.67

File System Cost

  • 1 file system
  • $25.00

​
Total Monthly Cost

  • Cache Storage: $0.67
  • File System Cost: $25.00
  • Total: $25.67

Archil intelligently caches data to maximize file system performance. For individual read operations, Archil may transfer and cache additional data from the backing bucket than requested.
