We reduced network pricing & introduced Melbourne and Tokyo

TL;DR

Effective immediately:

  • Request pricing is removed entirely
  • Network egress pricing drops from $0.15 → $0.06 per GB
  • NVMe disk pricing drops from $0.30 → $0.15 per GB per month

This is a global price applied across our 8 existing regions, with 8 additional regions launching in January.

With these reductions, high-bandwidth applications are now cheaper to operate on Northflank than on AWS and other public clouds.


Two new regions: Melbourne and Tokyo

Based on customer demand, we’ve launched:

  • Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺
  • Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵, with GPU support available at launch

If you need to deploy workloads into production in these geos, come chat with us, we can help you size, migrate, and optimise your workloads.


What you can now run more cost-effectively on Northflank

The new disk and network pricing unlocks major savings for teams running bandwidth-heavy or storage-intensive systems. Workloads that now perform better (and cost less) on Northflank compared to AWS include:

High-bandwidth and real-time applications

  • AI inference endpoints with large model outputs
  • Video streaming, VOD processing, and real-time media pipelines
  • Multiplayer game backends and simulation servers
  • Websocket-heavy SaaS platforms

Storage-intensive

  • Databases and caches (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB)
  • Search clusters (Elasticsearch, Meilisearch)
  • High-IOPS containerised systems benefiting from lower storage cost

Let’s talk

Enterprise and volume discounts are available for networking and storage. If you’re evaluating how these pricing changes impact your workloads, or planning to deploy in Melbourne or Tokyo, we’re here to help.

Come chat with us and we’ll show you how to run faster and cheaper on Northflank.
