good morning people! I am trying to understand my production costs. I saw in the documentation that the bandwidth cost are api responses, data indexing and node execution. Doesn't the amount of bandwidth, if my cluster has caching, account for how many times people search my site? I'm trying to understand that 22 number

The bandwidth component measures network bandwidth, so even with caching the data still needs to be sent over the network and that counts towards bandwidth
What caching helps with is saving cpu cycles, so a cached search does not need to be executed again

Another thing to note here is that responses are gzip compressed so typically actual usage is a fraction of data sent over the wire because of the compression.
