This Extra Small tier supports a replicated operational cluster with a working set up to 250 GB. The primary cost driver is compute, accounting for 70% of the total monthly cost at $420.48. A key tradeoff at this scale is the disabled high availability, which reduces cost but increases downtime risk for the 3-node replica set.
