Cockroach Labs has announced updated pricing for CockroachDB Cloud. This new pricing model goes into effect December 1, 2024 for new customers and existing pay-as-you-go customers, and upon renewal for annual or multi-year contract customers.

A Preview of metering for usage-based billing of data transfer, backups, and changefeeds remains in effect through November 30, 2024. During this Preview, line items with a charge of $0 will be shown on your monthly invoice for these items. Customers with existing annual or multi-year contracts may continue to preview these line items until charges begin upon contract renewal.

For more information, refer to CockroachDB Cloud Costs and the CockroachDB Pricing page.

October 1, 2024

Metering for usage-based billing of data transfer, managed backup storage, and changefeeds is now in Preview for all CockroachDB Cloud organizations.

  • Usage metrics for data transfer, managed backup storage, and changefeeds are now visible for CockroachDB Standard and Advanced clusters in the CockroachDB Cloud Console. You can view your usage across these metrics on the Billing page and on invoices.
  • There will be no usage-based charges associated with these metrics during the Preview period, which is in effect through November 30, 2024. During this time, line items with a charge of $0 will be shown for each metric on your monthly invoice.
  • We will share pricing for these usage-based costs by November 1, 2024.
  • On December 1, 2024, once the Preview has ended, pricing for these metrics goes into effect immediately for new customers and for existing pay-as-you-go customers (e.g. paying monthly by credit card). Customers with annual or multi-year contracts will continue to preview these line items without incurring charges for them (i.e. expending credits) through the end of their current contract term.

September 25, 2024

CockroachDB Cloud plans have been updated, and existing clusters have been transitioned to the new plans. There is no impact on the functionality or availability of existing clusters.

  • CockroachDB Serverless clusters have been renamed to CockroachDB Basic.

  • CockroachDB Standard is a new plan in Preview. You can easily switch a Basic cluster to CockroachDB Standard in place or start a new Standard cluster. New Cloud organizations can benefit from a free trial.

    CockroachDB Standard offers the benefits of a scalable, shared architecture, along with many enterprise-ready features, including:

  • CockroachDB Dedicated clusters have been renamed to CockroachDB Advanced. Former CockroachDB Dedicated Advanced clusters are now CockroachDB Advanced clusters with advanced security features enabled.

For more details, refer to the CockroachDB Blog and learn more about CockroachDB Cloud Costs across plans.

In addition, this release includes the following features:

  • A collection of Metrics graphs in the Cloud Console for all plans.
  • Configurable backup frequency and retention for Managed Backups on CockroachDB Standard and CockroachDB Advanced clusters, so you can meet your Disaster Recovery requirements.
  • Updates to the CockroachDB Cloud API and Terraform Provider to support the new plans and features.

August 12, 2024

General updates

  • CockroachDB v24.2 is now generally available for CockroachDB Dedicated. CockroachDB v24.2 is an optional Innovation release. Refer to Create a CockroachDB Dedicated cluster or Upgrade to v24.2.

  • As of v24.2, Cockroach Labs releases a major version of CockroachDB once per quarter, alternating between releases classified as a Regular release or an Innovation release.

    • Regular releases are required; they must be applied to CockroachDB Dedicated clusters, and they are applied automatically to CockroachDB Serverless clusters. Regular releases are produced twice a year, alternating with Innovation releases. They are supported for one year. Upgrading CockroachDB Dedicated directly from one regular release to the next regular release, skipping the intervening Innovation release, is supported.
    • Innovation releases are optional and can be skipped for CockroachDB Dedicated but are required for CockroachDB Serverless. Innovation releases are produced twice a year, alternating with Regular releases. An innovation release is supported for 6 months, at which time a CockroachDB Dedicated cluster must be upgraded to the next Regular release. At a a given time, only one Innovation release is typically supported. Upgrading CockroachDB Dedicated directly from one Innovation release to the next innovation release is not supported.
    Note:

    To opt out of Innovation releases entirely and hide them from your CockroachDB organization, contact Support.

To learn more, refer to CockroachDB Cloud Support and Upgrade Policy.

  • Fixed a bug where concurrent restores could run on the same destination cluster and cause the destination cluster to become unusable.
  • Fixed a bug where the IOPS price preview shown when creating or editing a cluster was inaccurate.

General changes

The following changes were made to CockroachDB Serverless for new organizations created on or after April 26, 2023. Existing organizations will not be affected until August 1, 2023.

  • The price of storage decreased from $1 per 1 GiB storage to $0.50 per 1 GiB storage.
  • Free resources are allocated on a per-organization basis instead of a per-cluster basis. All All non-contract organizations will now receive 50M Request Units per month and 10 GiB of storage for free. Free resources do not apply to contract customers.
  • All resources are available instantly at the beginning of each month (burst and baseline RUs are now deprecated).
  • You can now set separate RU and storage limits for your clusters, or set a spend limit that will be divided between resources automatically.
  • You can now set unlimited resources for a cluster so your workload is never restricted.
  • Organizations on the free plan will have at most one free serverless cluster (instead of the previous limit of five free clusters). Cockroach Labs will continue to maintain all existing free clusters with the new organization-level free resources.
  • Organizations can now create 200 serverless clusters instead of the previous maximum of five total clusters.

For an in-depth explanation of CockroachDB Serverless pricing, refer to Pricing. For any questions or concerns, please contact Support.

Console changes

Cloud API changes

  • Cloud API responses now contain a header called Cc-Trace-Id that can be provided to Support to help with diagnostics or troubleshooting.
  • The CreateCluster and UpdateCluster methods now support setting individual monthly limits for a cluster's Request Units and storage usage.
  • If your organization is enrolled in the new fine-grained authorization model described under Security Updates, you can assign the new roles to both users and service accounts using the Cloud API or Terraform provider in addition to the Console.

Security updates

  • CockroachDB Cloud is transitioning to a new authorization model that offers fine-grained access-control (FGAC), meaning that users can be given access to exactly the actions and resources required to perform their tasks. Changes include cluster-level roles and consistent access management across users and service accounts. This feature is in limited access, and you can enroll your organization by contacting your account team. For more information, see Managing Access (Authorization) in CockroachDB Cloud.

  • You can now use client certificates to authenticate to CockroachDB Dedicated clusters. First, a cluster administrator needs to upload a CA certificate for the cluster using the Cloud API or Terraform provider. After that, individual users can be assigned client certificates signed by the uploaded CA certificate, which they can then use to connect to the cluster. This feature is in limited access, and you can enroll your organization by contacting your account team.

Bug fixes

  • The Connect to your cluster dialog and Databases page in the Console now respond significantly faster for clusters with over 100 databases.
  • Fixed a bug where table and database restores were disabled for clusters running CockroachDB versions v22.2.6 or below.

  • For CockroachDB Cloud organizations enrolled in the Egress Perimeter Controls preview, note that CockroachDB Dedicated clusters must have been created as private clusters in order to enable Egress Perimeter Controls. To create a private cluster, your organization must be enrolled in the private cluster preview, which is separate from the Egress Perimeter Controls preview. Contact your Cockroach Labs account team to enroll in both previews.
