Redshift Data API Cost

Question

Hi,

I am planning to use the Redshift Data API for running SQL commands on our Redshift cluster. I've looked through the AWS Redshift pricing page but couldn't find specific details about the costs associated with using the Redshift Data API.

Can you provide me with information on how the Redshift Data API is billed? Are there charges per query, or is it included under some other part of Redshift usage? Any details on pricing tiers or examples of cost calculations would also be greatly appreciated.

Hi

The Redshift Data API itself doesn't incur separate charges. It utilizes the underlying Redshift cluster's resources for processing your SQL queries.

**Redshift Cluster Usage:** You'll be billed based on the Redshift cluster type you're using:

**Provisioned Clusters:** You'll pay for the hourly rate of the cluster's node type and storage used. Pricing varies depending on the region and node type (see the Redshift Pricing page for details https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/pricing/).

**Serverless Clusters:** You'll be billed per-second based on Redshift Processing Units (RPUs) consumed by your queries. There's a minimum charge per query execution.

**Redshift Spectrum (if applicable):** If your queries access data in S3 buckets through Redshift Spectrum, you'll be charged per terabyte of data scanned, with a minimum fee per query.

**Redshift Data API Announcement:** https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/data-api.html (While this announcement doesn't discuss pricing specifically, it confirms Data API leverages existing Redshift cluster resources)
