Description

Currently, our perf-cost experiment does not attempt to provide any cost estimations. We should provide this functionality, hardcode cloud costs per supported regions (or query them, if there's an API for it):

  • Function duration and memory costs
  • Function invocation costs
  • State transitions for workflows
  • Estimate storage accesses

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate cloud provider APIs for cost data and define a function to compute costs based on duration, memory, invocation count, state transitions, and storage accesses. Reference existing cost models from providers.
