Let’s review some common problems
13

Prototyping and experimenting costs money
14

Bluemix solution

Pricing – Example
After the 30 day trial you decide to pay for the next 30 days to run the app you developed. You chose:
–node.js that costs 0.07 per GB-Hour and has 375GB-Hours free allowance/month
–two 512MB instances (i.e 0.5GB RAM instances)
–You run your app for 30 days (720 hours)
Total cost is calculated as follows:
–2 instances x 0.5GB RAM per instance x 720 hours = 720 GB-hours
–Apply reduction of 375GB-Hours monthly free allowance:
720GB-hours – 375GB-hours = 345GB-hours
–345GB-hours x 0.07$/GB-hours = $24.15
