name: WarpStream FinOps Framework description: > WarpStream's FinOps profile covers consumption-based cost management for its diskless Kafka-compatible streaming platform. Costs are driven by cluster uptime (cluster-minutes), uncompressed data written, and uncompressed data stored, all metered monthly in 15-minute intervals. The platform's scale-to-zero capability means idle clusters are free. WarpStream provides a Usage tab in the Billing screen of the console for consumption monitoring and cost allocation across workspaces and virtual clusters. specificationVersion: "1.0" url: https://www.warpstream.com/pricing focus: version: "1.0" provider: WarpStream serviceCategory: Data Streaming / Event Streaming deploymentModel: - Serverless (Hosted) - BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) cloudProviders: - AWS - GCP - Azure costDimensions: - name: Cluster Minutes description: > Metered in 15-minute intervals only when at least one agent is deployed.

Decommissioning agents when not in use eliminates compute costs entirely for development and low-traffic environments. impact: high - name: Tiered Volume Discounts description: > All write and storage metrics use tiered pricing where higher volumes result in lower per-GiB unit costs. Aggregating workloads into fewer clusters can help reach lower-cost tiers faster. impact: medium - name: BYOC vs Serverless Selection description: > BYOC deployments avoid per-network-byte charges on ingress and egress. Serverless clusters add compressed GiB written and read metrics. For high-throughput workloads, BYOC is typically more cost-efficient. impact: high - name: Multi-Region Cost Awareness description: > Multi-region clusters multiply write and storage metrics by 2-3x. Teams should evaluate whether multi-region SLAs justify the additional cost before enabling. impact: medium - name: Object Storage Cost description: > BYOC clusters stream data directly to and from customer-owned object storage (S3, GCS, Azure Blob). Object storage costs (API calls, storage) are billed separately by the cloud provider and should be included in total cost of ownership calculations. impact: medium costVisibility: - name: Console Usage Tab description: > The Billing screen in the WarpStream console includes a Usage tab showing real-time consumption breakdowns by billing dimension across workspaces and virtual clusters. url: https://console.warpstream.com/ - name: Cost Estimator description: > WarpStream provides an interactive cost estimator for projecting monthly spend based on expected throughput, storage, and cluster tier selection. url: https://console.warpstream.com/cost_estimator - name: Free Credits description: > New accounts receive $400 in non-expiring free credits automatically, with no credit card required.
