Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
This listing uses a contract model with metered usage. You pay for actual consumption of the data streaming platform, billed as units. Three overage dimensions cover committed spend that exceeds your agreement, available for 12-month, 24-month, and 36-month terms. The overage rate applies once you use more than your committed amount over that period. The metered usage dimension charges for platform consumption without a term commitment. Together, these let you choose a commitment length and handle extra usage beyond it. Charges appear on your AWS bill.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Charges reflect actual platform consumption. This includes the volume of data streamed in and out, the amount of data stored in topics, and use of added services like managed connectors, stream processing, and schema management. Your bill tracks these consumption metrics rather than a fixed number of servers or seats.
Once your consumption passes the amount you committed for the term, the overage dimension applies. The overage rate matches your chosen term length: 12, 24, or 36 months. You pay for the extra usage above your commitment at that overage rate, and it appears on your AWS bill.
Data volume streamed in and out usually drives high-throughput workloads. Storage charges grow when you retain large amounts of data in topics. Added services such as connectors and stream processing bill separately. All these metrics accrue at the same time and roll into your metered usage total.
