This example assumes an instance specification of 1 core and 2 GiB.
If you run 20 instances for one hour, your total CPU consumption is 20 Core-hours (20 instances × 1 core × 1 hour), and your total memory consumption is 40 GiB-hours (20 instances × 2 GiB × 1 hour).
- Development environment: If your instances run for 8 hours a day, your daily consumption is 160 Core-hours and 320 GiB-hours.
- Production environment: If you use 40 instances during a 2-hour peak period and 20 instances during the 22 off-peak hours, your daily consumption is calculated as follows.
Daily CPU consumption: (2 hours × 40 instances × 1 core) + (22 hours × 20 instances × 1 core) = 520 Core-hours
Daily memory consumption: (2 hours × 40 instances × 2 GiB) + (22 hours × 20 instances × 2 GiB) = 1,040 GiB-hours
For a 30-day month, the total consumption for both the development and production environments is as follows:
- Total CPU consumption: (160 + 520) Core-hours/day × 30 days = 20,400 Core-hours
- Total memory consumption: (320 + 1,040) GiB-hours/day × 30 days = 40,800 GiB-hours
Finally, compare your estimated monthly total with the quotas offered by different resource plans. For this example, we recommend the Professional Edition resource plan (Quarterly). For more information about SAE resource plans, see Serverless Application Engine resource plans.

Log on to the SAE console and go to the Overview Page to view the resource usage trend chart for the last 12 months. Then, purchase a resource plan based on your historical usage data.
In the Usage overview for the last 12 months section, use the All Regions drop-down list in the upper-right corner to filter by region. The trend chart displays separate lines for CPU consumption (in Core-hours) and memory consumption (in GiB-hours). Use this data to purchase separate resource plans for your CPU and memory usage.
