Curious why a free tier is so important?
I think a FT encourages bad behaviors on both sides. I don't think pricing should be linear at all. But even for development, one is using resources, but most of the time they can be minuscule for individual devs.
Aside from production reliability, Postgres is one of the easiest things to get running on a VM and runs fine on a 5$ a month instance.
- ranguna 4y agoFree tier, like all things, is pretty bad if misused. The reason we want a free tier is to try things out before we can actually commit to something. We don't know if what we are doing is actually gonna make money and sometimes we go a few months without working on it. So it's kind of a pain to pay for something we don't use. That's why serverless is also nice to have on our current stage, things can just scale to 0 and there's no wasting of resource. > running on a VM and runs fine on a 5$ a month instance Easier said than done, unfortunately.
