How fast? Good province!

Introduction

Wechat cloud hosting https://cloud.weixin.qq.com It is a back-end project full hosting service jointly launched by wechat team and Tencent cloud . For the scenario of wechat ecological application development using front-end and back-end separation architecture , Cloud hosting can achieve operation and maintenance free and server free management , From code management to CI/CD Pipeline deployment release , Provide full link 、 Low cost 、 Enterprise class cloud native solutions .

Since launch , Wechat cloud hosting Attracted the attention of many small partners , Also received some questions ：

• Pay as you go mode , Will the resource consumption of wechat cloud hosting be very high fast ？
• Is cloud hosting really better than traditional servers province money ？
• “ nucleus * Hours ” Such a unit is strange , How to fast Quick understanding ？
• I haven't started using , How to estimate the approximate cost of using cloud hosting ？ Can you help me province How much ？
• ……

see , Here comes the popular science post ！ The following will use several typical Applet scenario , Compare the general price of cloud servers on the market with that of wechat cloud hosting , Show you how cloud hosting stands out in price “ No need to pre order underlying resources 、 Auto flex 、 When there is no access, the resource cost can be further reduced to 0” The advantages of our product capabilities .

In addition to affordable prices , For the first wechat cloud hosting environment created this year , The system will give 1 Three months of free credit for developers , There is no burden on opening trial ！

Wechat cloud hosting billing unit

It is different from that the server needs to estimate the scale of resource consumption and purchase in advance , Wechat cloud hosting adopts the billing by volume mode , How much to use , No, no money , Billing is accurate to seconds . Simply speaking , The billing unit hosted by wechat cloud , Namely Purchase ECS on a monthly basis / The total consumption of the database is subdivided for accurate billing by volume .

Take ECS for example ： Buy one valid for one month 1 nucleus 2GB Cloud server , Actually, I bought it for a month 720 nucleus Hours of CPU and 1440 GB Hours of memory resources . Within a month, no matter what the actual utilization of your ECS 、 How long does it actually run , You paid for all the resources .

among ：

1 nucleus = 1 nucleus * 24 Hours * 30 God = 720 nucleus * Hours

2GB = 2GB * 24 Hours * 30 God = 1440 GB * Hours

nucleus * Hours ： Express 1 Nuclear CPU Continuous operation 1 The amount of resources consumed in an hour , or 2 Nuclear CPU Continuous operation 0.5 The amount of resources consumed per hour .

GB* Hours ： Express 1GB The amount of resources consumed by the memory running continuously for one hour , or 2GB Memory runs continuously 0.5 The amount of resources consumed per hour .

Actual scenario billing simulation

Next , We use second kill activities 、 Examples of daily tool applet , Use wechat cloud hosting to connect with cloud servers on the market / Compare the general price of lightweight servers .

notes ： Because of the space , The following evaluation only shows the actual consumption value , And the prices are all published prices , No discount 、 Special offers 、 Resource Pack 、 Coupons, etc .

• Sudden concentrated high traffic at the beginning of the activity , Gradually decrease as the activity progresses , The number of participants in the later stage of the activity is small ;
• If it's a one-time event , Resources need to be released in time after the completion of the project .
• High requirements for service availability , Unacceptable server downtime .

3、 Estimated usage of wechat cloud hosting resources

• Suppose you hold an activity once a month , Every activity 20:00～24:00 continued 4 Hours . The first hour is the peak , After three hours, it will be gentle .
• In fact, the amount of data stored in the database is increasing , The charge is based on real-time storage . For easy calculation , The data volume takes a unified value , The actual consumption will be smaller .
• Wechat cloud hosting comes with high availability , There is no need to prepare additional redundant resources .

4、 Cost estimate comparison

As analyzed above , For operational activity scenarios with unstable access traffic , Wechat cloud hosting fee Far less than the cost of configuring your own server , It saves a lot of resource costs for enterprises .

More than the above two scenarios , Wechat cloud hosting can also help multiple categories of applications effectively reduce the cost of cloud resource consumption , Bring free operation and maintenance to enterprises 、 Low cost solutions , Achieve real cost reduction and efficiency increase .

Hot questions FAQ

The following questions are from users of wechat cloud hosting exchange group ：

Q： Elastic expansion is very convenient , But the dosage is not “ transparent ”, I feel like I have no bottom in my heart ？

In terms of real actual dosage , The transparency of cloud hosting and cloud server is consistent .

Q： Elastic expansion, if continuous expansion , Will it lead to significantly higher costs than expected , Lead to “ When I wake up, a suite is gone ”？

A： This is actually the problem of controlling the cost ceiling .

（1） The maximum number of instances per version is 50 individual , Beyond the upper limit, it will not continue to expand , That is, the daily cost ceiling is completely controllable . If the cost budget is tight , You can also manually lower the maximum number of copies of the instance .

（2） Wechat cloud hosting will soon provide quota monitoring function , When CPU/ Memory / Database computing / When the consumption of any resources such as database storage exceeds the threshold you set , An alarm message will be sent , Coming soon . When the , You can choose to freeze the service immediately , Stop new expenses . At this time, the online business will also be interrupted , Please carefully evaluate .

Q： Under what circumstances will the service shrink to 0（ There is no cost ）？
