MariaDB Cloud offers several pricing tiers to accommodate different workloads, with costs that vary based on the service level, compute resources, and the specific cloud region selected. The Foundation tier, powered by the open-source Community Server, is available for free to help users get started. For mission-critical workloads, the Power tier starts at approximately $0.16 per hour, while the PowerPlus tier, which includes geo-distributed resilience and real-time analytics, starts at $0.21 per hour. Specific instance pricing, such as the Sky-2x4 configuration on AWS, can be as low as $0.13182 per hour, though costs for larger instances can scale significantly. It is important to note that actual costs are influenced by the choice of cloud provider—such as AWS, GCP, or Azure—and the geographic region, as well as additional expenses for storage, scale fabric, and support subscriptions, which for the Community Server can start at $50 per core per month with an annual commitment.
