The founder of Turso explained how they can have such a generous free tier in a tweet: > Lots of people have been reaching out to me asking if they should expect our free tier to be around, given recent news. > Yes, you can expect our free tier to be around. > The main reason we built a service on SQLite is that we knew we could build the most efficient thing in the market with that. I usually keep these number semi private, but last month Turso had over 20,000 databases under management - in all plans - and our Cloud bill was less then 3.5K USD. > I sympathize with Planetscale, in the sense that running a company is hard and you sometimes have to make hard choices. But look beyond words, into cost structures and incentives: > Of course our service is expensive to operate, like any service, but most of it is staffing. We'll never find ourselves in a situation where killing our free tier will make any dent in the profitability of the company. https://twitter.com/glcst/status/1765466864338034717 https://twitter.com/glcst/status/1765466864338034717
