AWS App Mesh cost saving tips

Optimize your AWS App Mesh costs with these tips

Use Multi-Availability Zones

Deploying services across multiple availability zones in the same region allows App Mesh to distribute traffic and ensures redundancy, ultimately saving costs compared to multiple region deployment.

Right-Size Resources

Regularly monitor resource usage with CloudWatch and right-size EC2 instances or Fargate tasks to match demand. This prevents the unnecessary cost of oversized resources.

Remove Unused Services

Delete unused App Mesh configurations and remove associated tasks/instances. As billing is based on resource consumption, removing unused resources helps to lower costs.

AWS App Mesh pricing

AWS App Mesh doesn't charge users but relies on user payments for the AWS resources, like EC2 instances or Fargate CPU/memories, consumed via lightweight proxy used alongside containers. Costs for related products such as Amazon ECS with Fargate/EC2 and Amazon EKS depend on the resources consumed from pulling your container images until Amazon ECS Task termination. Pricing is per second with a minimum charge of a minute; EC2 and EKS have no minimum fees or upfront commitments.
