[App PLatform] Billing for internal service

Posted on September 13, 2021
Next.js DigitalOcean App Platform API
Asked by thecertnginx

If I create an internal service on the App Platform via the App Spec for my api and a Next ssr component as my frontend, I will be billed for the bandwidth only once right? I realise that the data from the api will be included in that bandwidth depending on how many times to frontend pulls them.

Hi there,

I believe that it does not. As according to the documentation, only data transfer on the public network interface counts against your bandwidth allowance.
