FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Free tier answers

Is PostgreSQL hosting really free?

The free PostgreSQL tier includes 0.5 vCPU, 1.2 GB RAM, 10 GB SSD at no cost. SSD and backup storage beyond the allowance is billed at standard rates; choose a paid tier for more compute.

Can I use the free SKU in production?

The free tier is designed for development, testing, and evaluation. It has no availability SLA and should not hold the only copy of important data.

Does the free SKU support TLS?

Use the PostgreSQL endpoint and TLS settings shown in the portal. PostgreSQL traffic uses native database TLS rather than browser TLS termination.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. Select a paid PostgreSQL SKU when the workload needs more CPU, memory, storage, backup capacity, or production support.

START SMALL, SCALE WHEN READY

Deploy the free SKU and move to paid capacity as your workload grows.
