For comparison, note also that ElephantSQL offers 20MB databases on their free tier with 5 concurrent connections. They charge about $20/mo for the tier that Fly is offering here for free.

https://supabase.com/pricing - 500MB, 2GB download/month (can be used as plain PostgreSQL)

https://www.cockroachlabs.com/pricing - 5GB, 250M "request units"/month (distributed, PostgreSQL-ish https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/postgresql-compati...)

I was not aware of the other portions of the free compute tier from Fly.io, was looking into Oracle Cloud. (Ask HN: What cool stuff do you run free-tier? Sep 2021 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28652736)

It's worth noting that our 3GB free is a quirk of our infrastructure.

We want people to try a read replica. We only provision volumes down to 1GB. 3GB sounds better than 2GB.

Sometime soon we'll cross the threshold of relevance and you'll just use Supabase or Cockroach on Fly. They're great f'n products.

kind of giddy thinking about multi-region supabase handled by fly, sky is the limit
