Billing by Database Write?
# help-and-questions
g
I am trying to make an architectural decision and I cannot figure out if Supabase bills by Database write (as firebase did). Will "Database Egress" be modulated by Database writes? 💵
g
Egress is all data going back to the client, this would include status and if you have .select() on insert/update then response data. It likely includes header info in response also if Supabase is like other companies, but they don't say that I have seen. It does not include the data going to the database from the client.

Dear @garyaustin thank you so much. So theoretically an insert/update with no ".select()" would result in zero data egress?
g
No. You at least have http 200 response type stuff and probably the headers. But they don’t make that clear. Last time I checked a bunch of providers like AWS ( which Supabase uses) those where billed as egress
There are no charges per database call though.

Thank you so much @garyaustin sounds good!
