Short description: Ongoing & advanced costs for the running of high performance, scalable, and reliable public infrastructure in Q1 and Q2 of 2024 for Phala and Khala.
As Polkadot's largest and most cost efficient infrastructure provider, we provide scalable free public API services for Phala. Since our inception in November 2020 we have a long track record focussing on three key areas; performance/reliability, providing more value from our Ultimate API service, and cost optimisation.
In the last 5 months (2023-07-01 and 2023-11-31) our Khala API service has:
Served a total of 1 billion (1,036,952,386) responses
Accumulated over 9,500 GB of data egress
The highest daily total was 15 million responses (15,949,057) in a single 24 hour period
All time totals for Khala is 10,428,730,973 (10.5 Billion) since June, 2021
Phala served over 140 million API responses in the period
All time totals for Phala is 390 million (390,711,801)
At the end of this period the 90 day uptime was 99.87% for Phala and 99.87% for Khala. You can always see live data of our API service on our public status page.
We are using a fixed price to allow us to bill in advance and to simplify the administration of this proposal, as well as provide cost clarity to both parties. This proposal includes combined running costs for our infrastructure for Phala and Khala for all of Q1 and Q2. By paying 6 months up-front we will apply a 15% discount to our services.
The total combined running cost is US $21,820 USD. This is all inclusive of capital and operating expenses, administration time from OnFinality DevOps, onboarding costs, backup costs, and all other monitoring and right-sizing by our team.
