In this post, we’ll look at Amazon Bedrock pricing through the lens of a practical, real-world example: building a customer service chatbot. We’ll break down the essential cost components, walk through capacity planning for a mid-sized call center implementation, and provide detailed pricing calculations across different foundation models.

In this post, we demonstrate how to track and analyze multi-tenant model inference costs on Amazon Bedrock using the Converse API’s requestMetadata parameter. The solution includes an ETL pipeline using AWS Glue and Amazon QuickSight dashboards to visualize usage patterns, token consumption, and cost allocation across different tenants and departments.

Traditional Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems consume valuable resources by ingesting and maintaining embeddings for documents that might never be queried, resulting in unnecessary storage costs and reduced system efficiency. This post presents a just-in-time knowledge base solution that reduces unused consumption through intelligent document processing. The solution processes documents only when needed and automatically removes unused resources, so organizations can scale their document repositories without proportionally increasing infrastructure costs.

With the increasing adoption of Amazon Bedrock, optimizing costs is a must to help keep the expenses associated with deploying and running generative AI applications manageable and aligned with your organization’s budget. In this post, you’ll learn about strategic cost optimization techniques while using Amazon Bedrock.
