Choosing the Right AWS RDS Plan

Our plugin connects your WooCommerce store to an Amazon RDS database remotely to archive and manage order data securely. To ensure you don’t incur unexpected costs while using RDS, this guide will help you select the most suitable AWS RDS plan for your needs.

AWS RDS (Relational Database Service) is a powerful and scalable solution for managing databases. However, its pricing can be complex, and without proper guidance, you might incur unexpected costs. This document is designed to help you make an informed decision about choosing the right AWS RDS plan for your needs while leveraging the free tier as much as possible.

Note: The information in this guide is for guidance only. AWS pricing frequently changes, and for the most accurate and up-to-date information, please use the AWS Pricing Calculator or consult with AWS directly.


1. Utilizing the AWS RDS Free Tier Plan #

AWS provides a free tier to help you get started without any cost. Here’s what it offers:

  • 750 Hours of Usage: You can run a small database instance (like a server for your database) continuously per month.
    • Instance Type: You are limited to small instance types called db.t2.micro or db.t3.micro (these are lightweight servers).
  • 20 GB of Database Storage: This is the space where your data will be stored.
  • 20 GB for Backups: AWS allows you to keep a backup copy of your database, up to 20 GB.

What to Watch Out For: #

  • Hidden Costs:
    • If you transfer data from your database to another location, there might be extra charges.
    • If you need additional features like performance monitoring, those might also cost extra.

2. Tips for Choosing the Right Plan #

Here are some guidelines to help you choose the best plan:

  • Small WooCommerce Stores:
    Use the free tier if your store is small or in testing mode. Monitor your usage to avoid exceeding the limits.
  • Growing Stores:
    Opt for a db.t3.small or db.t3.medium instance. Allocate storage based on your expected order data volume.
  • High-Traffic Stores:
    Consider a Multi-AZ deployment with a memory-optimized instance if reliability and performance are critical.

3. How to Choose the Right Plan #

Step 1: Start with the Free Tier #

  • Use the free tier to test your database needs.

Step 2: Evaluate Your Database Usage #

  • If your WooCommerce store has heavy traffic, consider higher-performance storage like Provisioned IOPS.

Step 3: Determine Reliability Needs #

  • Use Multi-AZ for critical stores, but it’s okay to start with Single-AZ for testing.

Step 4: Monitor and Scale Gradually #

  • Begin with smaller instances (e.g., db.t2.micro) and increase as needed.

Step 5: Calculate Costs #

  • Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your costs based on storage, traffic, and performance needs.

4. Understanding Costs Beyond the Free Tier #

When you unarchive data from AWS RDS back to your WooCommerce site, you may incur data transfer costs, depending on the amount of data and your hosting setup. Here’s what you need to know:

Why Does Unarchiving Data Cost Money? #

  • Inbound vs. Outbound Transfers: AWS RDS allows free data transfer into the database (inbound). However, outbound data transfer (retrieving data from RDS) is only free for the first 1 GB per month when the data is transferred outside AWS. Beyond this limit, AWS charges based on the volume of data retrieved.
  • Cross-Platform Data Transfers: If your WooCommerce site is hosted outside AWS (e.g., with a third-party hosting provider), unarchiving data involves data transfer out of AWS, which may result in charges.

Even if you’re on the free plan, you might still incur costs from related AWS services. Here’s how:

  • Networking Costs:
    • If your WooCommerce site is hosted outside AWS, transferring data between AWS and your site might incur fees.
  • Monitoring and Metrics:
    • AWS has a service called CloudWatch to monitor your database’s health and performance. Basic monitoring is free, but detailed monitoring can cost extra.
  • Provisioned IOPS:
    • This term refers to “faster storage” for your database. It allows the database to handle a lot of traffic more efficiently but costs more than standard storage.

5. Database Engine Pricing Variations #

A database engine is the type of database you’re running. AWS supports multiple engines, and costs vary by engine:

  • MySQL and MariaDB: These are affordable and very popular for websites and applications.
  • PostgreSQL: More advanced features, slightly higher cost.
  • Oracle and SQL Server: Higher costs due to licensing fees.

Simplified Advice: #

  • Use MySQL unless your WooCommerce store has very specific needs.

6. Key Costs to Consider for Paid Plans #

When moving to a paid plan, it’s important to understand the different cost components. Here’s a breakdown of what you’re paying for:

Deployment Options #

  • Single-AZ: Your database runs in one location (Availability Zone). This is cheaper but doesn’t have automatic recovery if there’s an issue.
  • Multi-AZ: Your database runs in two locations simultaneously for higher reliability. Costs more but is safer for critical stores.

Instance Costs #

  • On-Demand DB Instances:
    • You only pay for what you use, with no long-term commitments. Flexible but more expensive.
  • Reserved Instances:
    • Commit to 1 or 3 years, and you get a big discount (up to 70%).

Storage Costs #

  • Database Storage: The amount of space your data uses.
    • General Purpose SSD: Standard storage with moderate performance.
    • Provisioned IOPS: High-performance storage for busy databases (costs more).
  • Backup Storage:
    • Backups are free up to the size of your database. If your database is 20 GB, you get 20 GB of free backup storage.

Other Costs #

  • Snapshot Export Costs: Exporting backups to another AWS service (like Amazon S3) will cost extra.
  • Zero-ETL Integration Costs: If you connect RDS to other AWS services like Amazon Redshift (for analytics), you may incur charges.
  • Data Transfer Costs: If you transfer data to a different AWS region or outside AWS (like your WooCommerce hosting), fees apply.

7. Avoiding Hidden Costs #

AWS is a complex system, and even with the free tier, you may face costs. To prevent surprises:

  • Monitor your AWS Billing Dashboard regularly.
  • Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate costs based on your needs.
  • Keep an eye on non-RDS services like EC2, S3, or Data Transfer, which may incur additional charges.

Final Note #

This guide is designed to help you avoid unexpected costs and choose the right AWS RDS plan. For accurate and up-to-date information, always use the AWS Pricing Calculator or consult AWS directly.
