Is there any great free PostgreSQL provider?


I've been looking for one for quite a long time, but none of them fit my demands. MySQL is also fine.

Wow, no mention of Railway yet. They don't really advertise it, they allow you to create a Postgres DB as a part of a project and expose it publicly. It's pay as you go and in my tests I haven't been able to scratch the 5$ minimum.

Fly has apparently also recently added this: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=DAlperin

Digital Ocean has managed Postgres for $15. I wouldn’t in my wildest fantasies trust a free Postgres provider.

There's ElephantSQL, which offers a free tier: https://www.elephantsql.com/

Supabase provides a free tier Postgres. There are of course limits to the size, and they will pause your project if it is inactive for 7 days.

For example, https://www.yugabyte.com/ is good. But I really wonder what made it unavailable to connect for all of my apps!

Supabase if you was a managed solution. Great free tier IMO.

It would be interesting to know which providers' free tiers you've tried any why they didn't fit your needs.
