Extend Database
Purpose-built for complex game features — flexible schema, rich queries, atomic transactions, and auto-scaling compute that matches your traffic.
DCU/hour
$0.11
per DCU/hour
A DCU measures your database's compute capacity. Your database automatically scales up in DCU increments during traffic spikes and scales back down when quiet. You're billed for capacity used, not a fixed instance size.
I/O
$0.28
per million operations
Each read or write operation against your database counts toward your monthly I/O total.
Database Storage
$0.14
per GB
Total size of your stored data, measured in GB. Minimum 10 GB storage charge applies per database instance.
Fully managed relational database for structured game data — ACID-compliant transactions, complex joins, and automatic backups.
ACU/hour
$0.17
per ACU/hour
An ACU measures your relational database's compute and memory capacity. Your database automatically scales up in ACU increments during traffic spikes and scales back down when quiet. You're billed for capacity used, not a fixed instance size.
I/O
$0.28
per million operations
Each read or write operation against your database counts toward your monthly I/O total.
Database Storage
$0.14
per GB
Total size of your stored data, measured in GB. Minimum 10 GB storage charge applies per database instance.
Ultra-low latency key-value store for session data, caching, and real-time leaderboards — scales instantly with your player base.
ECPU/Million
$0.0030
per million ECPUs
An ECPU measures the compute consumed per request. You're billed per million ECPUs used, so you only pay for actual operations against the cache.
Data Storage/Hour
$0.1160
per GB-hour
Total memory used to store your cached data, billed per GB per hour. Scales with the amount of data held in the cache at any given time.
Extend Asynchronous Messaging
Reliable message queuing for event-driven game systems — decouple services, handle spikes, and guarantee delivery.
Every studio receives a free monthly allowance: 15 Topics, 15 Subscribers, and 10M Subscriber-Events. Pricing below applies to usage beyond the free tier.
Additional Topic
$0.99
per additional topic
A topic is a named channel that Extend apps publish custom events to. Each topic beyond the free tier of 15 is billed monthly.
Additional Subscriber
$0.99
per subscriber
A subscriber is an Extend Event Handler app that listens for specific custom events on a topic. Each subscriber beyond the free tier of 15 is billed monthly.
Usage
$3.00
per 1M subscriber-events
A Subscriber-Event is counted each time a custom event is delivered to an Extend Event Handler app. Usage beyond the free tier of 10,000,000 Subscriber-Events per month is billed per million.
Pricing FAQs
Start with VM-hours, outbound egress, and ingested logs. Add a database or asynchronous messaging only when the app actually uses it.
The current public page lists 888 VM-hours, 50 GB egress, and 15 GB logs for up to 90 days or until credits are consumed.
Consumption depends on application resources and request frequency; Extend can horizontally autoscale as the player workload increases.
Build your custom services with Extend.
Start with one custom behavior, then model the runtime, outbound data, logs, databases, and messaging it adds to the AGS workload.
