When designing potential technology solutions, it's usually important to come up with accurate estimates of the overall cost of these solutions. To aid users in creating accurate estimates, Google offers the Google Cloud Platform Pricing Calculator. This tool provides an easy-to-use interface for selecting groups of cloud resources, specifying any configurations that affect cost, and generating itemized estimates for a given timeframe.

Suppose we're looking to build a customer-facing social application for hosting images. We want to build a scalable frontend to serve our web app, so we'll host our application on App Engine standard environment. We need to store relational information about user accounts, friends, and comment threads, which we'll keep on Cloud SQL. Because we want to provide quick access to images all over the world, we'll use Cloud Storage multi-regional buckets.
