Why this sizing

YugabyteDB Self-Hosted at the extra small tier maps to the rf3-three-node reference architecture on Azure in eastus. Compute is the largest line item in this estimate, accounting for 72% of monthly cost. High availability is not included here, so this baseline stays lean and leaves failover headroom out of the monthly total. Master Tserver carries the heaviest storage footprint at 1 TB on each of its 3 nodes.
