- Definition
- Billing Dimensions in Confluent Cloud: Kafka ingress is billed as "Cost per GB written" and Kafka egress as "Cost per GB read"; "Confluent Cloud charges you for all data transfers, including requests for produce and consume and every other type of incoming or outgoing request."
- Counting rules
- Every produce, consume and other request counts, including Cloud Console message browsing. GB are binary gigabytes (2^30 bytes). Ingress and egress charges are multiplied by a regional multiplier for the cloud provider region; the Produce (v3) REST API carries an extra USD 0.01 per GB ingress before the multiplier.
