Sequin · FinOps Profile

Sequin Io Finops

FinOps view of Sequin spend. Sequin's core CDC engine is open source (MIT) and free to self-host - in that model the cost is your own compute, storage, and network for running the Sequin service and the downstream sinks, with no vendor invoice. Sequin Cloud is the managed offering, billed on a usage basis primarily driven by change-record / operation throughput and data volume streamed, above a free allowance. Enterprise agreements cover high-volume or self-managed-with-support arrangements.
