What are DCUs?

Demeter Compute Units (DCUs) are an abstraction layer implemented in Demeter to measure infrastructure usage.

Every enabled feature in your project consumes a certain amount of DCUs per unit of time depending on actual impact on resources consumption.

You can enable just the features that you need at the project level so you have total control over spending.

Tips for efficient use of DCUs

Connect only the necessary extensions

All connected extensions will consume DCUs even if they are not being used. Make sure you disconnect unused extensions on your projects.

Pause workspaces while not working on them

Running workspaces consume high amounts of DCUs. You can easily pause your workspaces when you are done for the day and start them back when you resume your work.

Delete unused workspaces

Workspaces consume DCUs even if they are paused. It's recommended to delete your temporary or abandoned workspaces, you can always create new workspaces as you need them.

Don't oversize your workspaces

Running workspaces consume DCUs according to their size. Make sure you select the right size for your project needs. Keep in mind that you can resize your workspace after it was created by editing the settings on your workspace detail page.
