Who This Tool Is For
IoT platform engineers and observability teams evaluating managed time-series databases for factory telemetry, metrics aggregation, or real-time monitoring.
Why We Built This Tool
Timestream for InfluxDB is the engine AWS still onboards. LiveAnalytics entered maintenance on June 20, 2025 — existing customers can still price it here, and the magnetic-store minimum still surprises small accounts.
What Problem It Solves
- Instance oversizing. InfluxDB db.influx.8xlarge at $3.825/hr is $2,792/month before storage.
- Query TCU burn. LiveAnalytics dashboards and alerting at high QPS consume TCU-hours fast at $0.518/hr.
- Magnetic minimum. LiveAnalytics magnetic store has a 100 GB/account/Region floor even for small workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do these Timestream prices come from?
Rates are AWS published us-east-1 list prices (Amazon Timestream pricing), pricing as of 2026-07-09.
InfluxDB vs LiveAnalytics — when does each win?
Start new workloads on Timestream for InfluxDB. LiveAnalytics has been in maintenance since June 20, 2025: existing customers can keep it for serverless ingestion and tiered retention, but AWS is not onboarding new LiveAnalytics customers. The AWS alternative named on the maintenance list is Timestream for InfluxDB.
What is the magnetic store minimum?
LiveAnalytics magnetic store bills at $0.03/GB-month with a minimum of 100 GB per account per Region, even if you store less.
How are LiveAnalytics queries priced?
On-demand queries use Timestream Compute Units (TCUs) at $0.518/TCU-hour (4 vCPU + 16 GB RAM per TCU). You can also provision dedicated TCUs with a 1-hour minimum.
Timestream vs self-managed Influx on EC2?
Managed InfluxDB removes ops overhead but charges a premium over raw EC2. Use our EC2 calculator for a self-managed baseline, then add EBS and ops cost mentally.
Timestream vs CloudWatch metrics?
CloudWatch custom metrics bill per metric/month with cardinality risk. Timestream suits high-ingest time-series with SQL analytics — compare both for your access pattern.
