[tor-dev] Summary of meek's costs, August 2014



The "meek" pluggable transport has started getting some users since my
blog post two weeks ago (https://blog.torproject.org/blog/how-use-%E2%80%9Cmeek%E2%80%9D-pluggable-transport).
See the attached file userstats-bridge-transport-meek-2014-08-01-2014-08-29.png.
Today I logged in to the Google and Amazon accounts to see what the
usage looks like. Here is a summary. In short, App Engine cost $1.02
this month, and Amazon cost $2.54.


meek-appspot-2014-08-29.png shows the Google App Engine bytes/second for
the month of August. App Engine costs $0.12 per GB, with 1 GB for free
each day. It's finally at the point where it's costing money every day:

meek-aws-2014-08-29.png shows the AWS megabytes per day (note that the
y-axis is different from the other graph so they are not directly
comparable). The charges break down quite differently: there's no cost
for bandwidth so far, and all the charges are for the sheer number of
HTTPS requests. The Amazon bill is broken down by region:

Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region
	$0.0090 per 10,000 HTTP Requests 		3 Requests 		$0.01
Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region							$ --
EU (Ireland) Region								$ --
South America (Sao Paulo) Region						$ --
Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region
	$0.0090 per 10,000 HTTP Requests 		38 Requests 		$0.01
US East (Northern Virginia) Region
	$0.0100 per 10,000 Proxy HTTPS Requests (US) 	2,513,557 Requests	$2.51
	$0.0075 per 10,000 HTTP Requests 		3 Requests 		$0.01

Total to date									$2.54
