| Forensic Dimension | AWS Managed NAT Gateway & Data Egress | New Relic Observability Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Cloud Infrastructure | Observability & APM |
| Pricing Unit | per GB Processed | per GB Ingested (+ $349–$549 Full User Seat) |
| P25 Negotiated Floor | $0.025 | $0.24 |
| P50 Market Median | $0.036 | $0.3 |
| List Price (Unnegotiated) | $0.045 | $0.35 |
| Avg. SMB Annual Spend | $38,000/yr | $41,000/yr |
| Cancellation Notice Window | 15 Days | 60 Days |
| Default Renewal Uplift | +0% / yr | +10% / yr |
| Hidden Overage Trap | S3 and DynamoDB traffic routed through Managed NAT Gateways incurs $0.045/GB processing fee unnecessarily when free VPC Gateway Endpoints are not configured. | While data ingest looks cheap ($0.30/GB), Full Platform User seats cost up to $549/user/month—one accidental role assignment adds $6,500/year. |
| Primary Negotiation Lever | Attach free S3/DynamoDB VPC Gateway Endpoints immediately (cuts NAT data bill 40%–70% in 10 minutes) and bundle remaining egress into an AWS EDP addendum. | Downgrade 80% of engineers to Core Users ($49/mo) or free Basic Users (alert/dashboard viewers) and negotiate Data Plus ingest down to $0.24–$0.28/GB. |
