Features and programs
Financing for AWS Marketplace purchases
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
c6g.xlarge Recommended | $2.75 |
c6g.4xlarge | $7.00 |
a1.large | $0.75 |
t4g.medium | $1.50 |
c7g.4xlarge | $8.40 |
c8g.large | $1.80 |
c8g.xlarge | $3.30 |
c7g.xlarge | $3.30 |
c8g.2xlarge | $4.80 |
c6g.2xlarge | $4.00 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you run this ARM-based proxy on. Billing is usage-based, so charges add up for each running instance and stop when you stop it. The dimensions map to AWS Graviton instance families: c6g, c7g, and c8g compute instances, plus c6gn and c7gn network-optimized instances. Within each family, you choose a size from large up to 4xlarge. More cores or higher network capacity cost more per hour. You can run several instances at once, and each instance is billed and licensed separately.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get one running proxy VM sized to the EC2 instance you pick. It installs both the proxy and the Central Console on a single host. Each instance handles query routing, caching, connection pooling, and read/write split. You configure it through a web wizard on port 8087.
Charges accrue per hour only while an instance runs. Stopping an instance stops the software charge. To scale, you add more nodes horizontally, often in AWS auto-scaling groups. Each added instance is billed and licensed separately at its own hourly rate for the size you chose.
All are ARM Graviton instances billed per hour by size. The c6gn and c7gn families add higher network capacity, useful for high-throughput proxy traffic. The c6g, c7g, and c8g families focus on compute cores. You pick one family and size; that hourly rate applies while it runs.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Incredible product, amazing support
Reviewed on Nov 24, 2021
Review from a verified AWS customer
As our application scaled in complexity and in adoption, we quickly realized that we'd be running into serious bottlenecks with RDS. We looked into scaling and complex replication options, but soon realized that it just would not make financial sense.
We are thankful to have found Heimdall at a time when scaling became a focus area for us. Heimdall's solution helped us dramatically reduce the direct reliance on RDS while simultaneously improving our platform's performance.
The biggest wins for us have been:
- Reduced our RDS costs by 55% (compared a year after implementation)
- Improved application performance by approximately 80%
- Having not a vendor, but a partner in the journey to effective and feasible scaling.
I am not sure how we would have been able to scale our platform without Heimdall, especially in the critical cash-strapped arena that often defines startups.
