Size InfluxDB Enterprise on Google Cloud

Extra Small — up to 100,000 writes per second and under 1 million series

Monthly cost

$1,050.24

Annual cost

$12,603/year

Line-item breakdown

Compute $684.74
Storage $365.50
Other $0.00

Components provisioned

Role Instance vCPU GB RAM Storage
Meta Node 3 × n2-standard-2 2 8 50 GB
Data Node 2 × n2-standard-4 4 16 1 TB

Why this sizing

InfluxDB Enterprise at the extra small tier maps to the small-rf2 reference architecture on Google Cloud in us-central1. Compute is the largest line item in this estimate, accounting for 65% of monthly cost. High availability is not included here, so this baseline stays lean and leaves failover headroom out of the monthly total. Data Node carries the heaviest storage footprint at 1 TB on each of its 2 nodes.
