Capacity Planning
Materialize uses two concepts for capacity and pricing. How much capacity you need depends on your workload and performance requirements. This table shows the resources associated with each cluster size.
Clusters are pools of compute resources for running workloads, sized from M.1-nano to M.1-8xlarge.
Compute Credits measure the cost to run a cluster per hour - for example, an M.1-small cluster costs 6 Compute Credits per hour.
| Size | Compute Credits/Hour | Capacity | Free Trial Availability | Capacity Availability | On-Demand Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M.1-nano | 0.75 | 26 GiB | |||
| M.1-micro | 1.5 | 53 GiB | |||
| M.1-xsmall | 3 | 106 GiB | |||
| M.1-small | 6 | 212 GiB | - | ||
| M.1-medium | 9 | 318 GiB | - | ||
| M.1-large | 12 | 424 GiB | - | ||
| M.1-1.5xlarge | 18 | 636 GiB | - | ||
| M.1-2xlarge | 24 | 849 GiB | - | ||
| M.1-3xlarge | 36 | 1,273 GiB | - | ||
| M.1-4xlarge | 48 | 1,645 GiB | - | ||
| M.1-8xlarge | 96 | 3,290 GiB | - |

See our docs for recommendations based on workload type and performance requirements. Our team can also help you right-size your deployment based on your specific use case.
This depends on overlap between use cases. With Materialize, you can define data products once and reuse them across use cases. The more you reuse, the lower your incremental costs.
