Databricks Neon [1] has a free tier for their Postgres service. Neon's strength that allows them to offer a free tier lies in their serverless, cloud-native PostgreSQL architecture with a separation of storage and compute resources. This allows Neon to scale compute to zero automatically when the database is idle.

- JustSkyfall 1y agoThey’re pretty infamous for having constant outages and downtime, wouldn’t recommend for something serious
- lateforwork 1y agoI am yet to experience an outage, and I have been using for several months.
- joshstrange 1y agoI’m not saying that can’t or doesn’t happen but I’ve been using them for about 2 years now and never experienced it. To be fair, my traffic patterns could just not overlap with their outages but wanted to add a data point.
- impulser_ 1y agoWhat allows them to offer a free tier is that they are ok with burning and losing money not because of how they built their service. Even when a database scales to zero someone still has to pay.
