Serverless vs. classic jobs compute
Compare the cost of a scheduled job on a classic jobs cluster (DBUs + VMs + startup/idle time) with serverless jobs compute, using current list $/DBU for your cloud and region.
Classic cost per month
—
How it works: classic cost = nodes × (instance DBU/h × list $/DBU + VM $/h) × (runtime + billed startup/idle). Serverless cost = serverless DBUs × serverless $/DBU. The VM price is already included in serverless. We can't know how many DBUs serverless will use for your job, so we show the break-even. VM prices are auto-filled with on-demand Linux list prices (Azure pricing feed, AWS EC2 on-demand pricing, Google Compute Engine pricing pages); type your own price to override, e.g. for discounts or spot. List prices only: no committed-use discounts, spot, or promotions.
