- Per-hour billing
Azure Database for PostgreSQL is a fully-managed database as a service with built-in capabilities, such as high availability and intelligence. You can continue to use languages and frameworks of your choice with no upfront costs. Pay only for what you use with reserved capacity pricing now available.
Reserved capacity pricing now available – save up to 60 percent compared to the regular pay-as-you-go payment options
Flexible and transparent pricing
Scale compute and storage independently based on your workload. Only pay for what you use.
Optimize your cost
Save up to 60% compared to pay-as-you-go options with reserved capacity.
Reduce total cost of ownership with burstable instances and Stop/Start capabilities so when the database is stopped, you only pay for storage.
Choice of deployment option
Meet your database management and customisation needs with deployment options including Single Server, Flexible Server (Preview) and Hyperscale.

Hyperscale provides horizontal scale-out capability to hundreds of nodes and is best for high performance workloads that require:
- Dynamic scalability without the cost of manual sharding with low application re-architecture required
- Transactional and analytical queries to run on the same database
US government entities are eligible to purchase Azure Government services from a licensing solution provider with no upfront financial commitment or directly through a pay-as-you-go online subscription.
Important—The price in R$ is merely a reference; this is an international transaction and the final price is subject to exchange rates and the inclusion of IOF taxes. An eNF will not be issued.
Azure Germany is available to customers and partners who have already purchased this, doing business in the European Union (EU), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA)and in the United Kingdom (UK). It provides data residency in Germany with additional levels of control and data protection. You can also sign up for a free Azure trial.

Worker Node Size (Compute and Memory)
Each Hyperscale (Citus) database cluster starts at 2 worker nodes. As your workload grows, you can add more vCores (logical CPUs) and memory to your worker nodes—and you can scale out your Postgres cluster by adding more worker nodes.
| vCore/Node | Memory (GiB)/Node | Price/Node | One year reserved (% Savings)* |
Three year reserved (% Savings)* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 32 GiB | $- | $- | $- |
| 8 | 64 GiB | $- | $- | $- |
| 16 | 128 GiB | $- | $- | $- |
| 32 | 256 GiB | $- | $- | $- |
| 64 | 432 GiB | $- | $- | $- |
Coordinator Node Size (Compute and Memory)
Each Hyperscale (Citus) database cluster has 1 coordinator node.
| vCore* | Memory (GiB) | Price | One year reserved (% Savings)** |
Three year reserved (% Savings)** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 16 GiB | $- | $- | $- |

Storage per Node - General Purpose SSD Storage
You can configure storage for Hyperscale (Citus) worker nodes and coordinator nodes to be 512 GiB (0.5 TiB) per node or 1 TiB or 2 TiB per node. General Purpose storage is charged per GiB of storage you provision.
| Price | |
|---|---|
| 0.5 TiB | $-/month |
| 1.0 TiB | $-/month |
| 2.0 TiB | $-/month |
High availability
High availability (HA) avoids database downtime by maintaining standby replicas of every node in a server group. If a node goes down, Hyperscale switches incoming connections from the failed node to its standby. Failover happens within a few minutes and promoted nodes always have fresh data through PostgreSQL synchronous streaming replication. Enabling HA for your Hyperscale (Citus) cluster effectively creates another set of nodes and thus doubles the cluster price.
Backup Storage
Backup storage is the storage associated with automated backups of your Hyperscale (Citus) cluster. There is no additional charge for backup storage for up to 100% of your total provisioned storage on a given node. Additional consumption of backup storage will be charged in GiB/month starting 1st September 2020.

| Locally Redundant (1 GiB) | $-/month |

FAQ
-
Hyperscale (Citus) is a new deployment option for Azure Database for PostgreSQL that scales out Postgres horizontally. A Hyperscale (Citus) database cluster is a group of nodes that are running Postgres, including 1 coordinator node and 2 or more worker nodes.
-
Hyperscale (Citus) has a minimum database cluster size of 3 nodes: 1 coordinator node and 2 worker nodes.
-
An Azure Database for PostgreSQL Hyperscale (Citus) cluster can scale out to 100s of nodes.
-
Azure Database for PostgreSQL Hyperscale (Citus) is billed on a predictable, hourly rate based on provisioned worker node compute in vCores, provisioned coordinator node compute in vCores, provisioned storage in GiB/month for your cluster and backup storage for your cluster. On your bill, worker vCores, coordinator vCores, storage in GiB/month and backup storage in GiB/month will have separate line items.
-
Backup storage is the storage associated with automated backups of your Azure Database for PostgreSQL Hyperscale (Citus) cluster. Increasing your backup retention period increases the backup storage that is consumed by your Hyperscale (Citus) cluster. There is no additional charge for backup storage for up to 100% of your total provisioned cluster storage. Additional consumption of backup storage will be charged in GiB/month. For example, if you have a cluster storage sise of 1.5 TiB, you will get 1.5 TiB of backup at no additional cost. However, if the backup is 2 TiB, you will pay for the incremental 0.5 TiB of backup storage.
-
Yes. Refer to the Bandwidth pricing details page for more details.
-
Reserved capacity allows you to reserve compute power. This pricing option enables savings up to 45 percent for 1-year and up to 65 percent for 3-years compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
