Database Bandwidth Billing

Posted on February 13, 2025

Is there outbound bandwidth fee for managed databases? Or am I free to query my db as much as I want (for example, from localhost)?

Hi there,

As per the docs here, traffic to and from managed databases does not count against your bandwidth billing transfer allowance.

Hope that this helps.
