Frequently asked questions

• What is an event?

  An event describes data that moves into or out of a resource to your stream processing application using the streaming capabilities of the Meroxa platform. For example, say you have a Postgres database that sits upstream of Meroxa. When that Postgres database is added to Meroxa as a resource and the “Read” function is used in your stream processing app to stream data from that Postgres database, each database record that gets created in Postgres that gets read into the stream processing app is an event.

  On the flip side, let’s say you want to stream those records to a search engine like Elasticsearch in that same stream processing app. Each time you use the “Write” function in your stream processing app to stream a record to Elasticsearch, that counts as an event.

• What counts as a compute minute?

  A compute minute is measured as the amount of CPU time needed to run your function in your stream processing app. Meroxa measures CPU time in milliseconds. Any partial minute is rounded at the end of the billing cycle.

• What if I exceed my monthly events and compute limits?

  That’s great—we’ll help you scale! More events and compute minutes can be purchased on demand via the Meroxa dashboard.

• Do you offer custom invoicing?

  We certainly do! Please contact our sales team to learn more.

• How secure is your platform?
