Hello @trk ,
- Once we choose the matching engine for a specific task we are billed for the used resources here are the estimated monthly serving cost.
The estimated monthly serving cost is directly related to the number of nodes used in the console. To learn more about configuration parameters that affect cost, see Configuration parameters which affect recall and latency.
2. I used a pricing calculator given the data you’d mention, you can double check it for reference.
3. To reduce the overall cost by using alternative GCP products is a great idea. But we need to keep in mind that every product has its own composition to become suitable in our needs. We have Alloy DB and BigQuery for vector implementation.
