Ask HN: Cheapest hosted database options for 1M read & writes per day?
Building a tool for free users so don't want to spend bucks on database. Looking for a hosted database with generous free tier for read/write ops.
I should mention that read and write operations are expected to surpass 1M/day.. Firestore is a no-go (expensive).
If there's no NoSQL option available I could also look into SQL DB given it's hosted.
- throwaway476287 4y agoMongoDB Atlas is a nice option. Not free but quite cheap for smaller scale. Also check out Supabase and Render - not NoSQL but generous free tiers.
- burggraf 4y agoSupabase developer here: keep in mind that, while PostgreSQL is unapologetically SQL-based, it's support for JSON and JSONB fields give it a lot of the powers of NoSQL. These days the lines are becoming more blurred. Here's an article I wrote with a basic introduction to the NoSQL features of PostgreSQL: https://supabase.com/blog/sql-or-nosql-both-with-postgresql https://supabase.com/blog/sql-or-nosql-both-with-postgresql
