<@U01NZ4D0LDD> One more question tonight:
I noticed the price for “Bandwidth” or something, when starting my cluster. What is this?

It's very similar to what AWS / GCP charge on a per GB basis, for data transfer

Where does this data transfer occur? Is it on document creation only?

It's data transfer _out_ of a node. Incoming data into a node is not billed.

So for single node non-HA clusters, sending data into Typesense is not charged, but when you export or search for data, that's outgoing data from the node and so that's billed

For multi-node HA clusters, when you add documents into collections, the data is also replicated out to all the nodes in the cluster, so that's also billed as outgoing data transfer

If you run an ec2 with TypeSense do you need to pay this?

In practice, how much data does 1 character search use?

So even If I was self hosted Id have to pay this?

Yes, almost all cloud providers charge for bandwidth separately.

But it's 9c per GB (in most regions around the world), so this shouldn't be the most expensive component

Ah, ok, that’s all I cared for really
If it’d have to pay for this on ec2 then it doesnt make a justification *not* to use TS Cloud

I just see lots of reasons *to* use the cloud

FWIW, we are hosted on AWS as well, so we're just passing on the bandwidth charges that AWS charges us

I wish we didn't have to charge for bandwidth tbh, but AWS billing model forces us to :cry:

Hey <@U01NZ4D0LDD> Do you know when the MVP of the dashboard will likely be released?
Is it possible to get it to be this month?

Yup, hoping to deploy it by end of month, unless something major comes up in the meantime.
