Dimension | Description | Cost/unit |
|---|---|---|
Requests | Number of requests processed by AAP Hybrid | $0.0003 |
Dimensions summary
You pay based on usage, measured by the number of requests processed. This single dimension covers all traffic that flows through the hybrid deployment. There are no separate tiers or instance sizes to select. Your cost scales directly with request volume: more requests processed means a higher bill, fewer requests means a lower bill. This lets you align spending with your actual traffic. The product delivers app and API security across all your environments through this usage-based model.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A request is a single call processed by App & API Protector Hybrid as traffic flows through the deployment. This includes both web application and API traffic. Each incoming call the product handles is metered separately. Your count reflects the total volume of processed traffic, not the number of applications or endpoints protected.
Charges track processed requests only. During periods with no incoming traffic, no requests are metered, so no usage accrues for that time. Your bill rises and falls with actual request volume. There is no minimum instance charge tied to running time, since billing is based on requests handled.
Yes. The single Requests dimension meters all traffic processed by the hybrid deployment, regardless of which environment it flows through. There are no separate per-environment charges. All processed requests roll up into one usage total that drives your bill.
