Notice: New Data Transfer Fee for VeloDB Cloud
VeloDB Cloud will introduce a new Data Transfer Fee for SaaS deployments to provide more transparent, usage-based billing for network data transfer.
The new billing item will take effect on September 1, 2026 at 00:00 UTC. Data transfer usage before this date will not be charged retroactively.
Scope of impact
This fee applies to VeloDB Cloud SaaS deployments.
BYOC deployments are not affected by this change. In BYOC deployments, data transfer occurs within your own cloud account, and any associated network costs are billed directly by your cloud provider.
What is changing
Starting September 1, 2026, VeloDB Cloud will charge for billable data transfer generated by customer workloads during read and write operations.
For billing purposes, data transfer is categorized as:
- Ingress: data transferred into VeloDB Cloud from your environment or external data sources. Common examples include data ingestion through Stream Load, Routine Load, CDC-based ingestion, and reading data from external data lakes.
- Egress: data transferred out of VeloDB Cloud to users, applications, clients, endpoints, downstream systems, or external storage. Common examples include query result retrieval, endpoint-based subscriptions, exports, synchronization workflows, and writing data to external storage or data lakes.
Billable usage is measured by VeloDB Cloud server-side metering and shown in your billing details. Traffic used for internal service communication within VeloDB Cloud is not charged as customer data transfer.
Pricing
| Billing item | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Data Transfer Fee | GB | US$0.03 / GB |
Example
If your account generates 500 GB of billable data transfer in one billing cycle, the data transfer fee is:
500 GB x US$0.03 / GB = US$15.00
How to view usage and charges
After the fee takes effect, you can view your data transfer usage and charges in the VeloDB Cloud billing console.
