Heroku is the classic free db (and free app hosting). Fly.io is an alternative that also gives you both.
On heroku you can create a bunch of free small DBs and apps, and on fly it's 3 services (container or db node) per account I think, but unlike Heroku, your apps won't go to sleep.
- vmception 4y agothat's interesting, fly.io is definitely winning I'd be doing Netlify + Fly.io then Heroku too antiquated in pricing and offerings, their free db addon is too small, but interesting idea about just making a bunch. on the db offering fly.io is very competitive and generous
- kall 4y agoWell, Heroku Postgres is more "managed" than fly who basically just hands you some nice tooling to do it your self. I don't think they set up backup for you. For me personally, Point-In-Time recovery is maybe the most important thing about managed PG. Also worth a mention are the free tiers of the "cloud scale" SQL new kids Planetscale (MySQL/vitess) and CockroachDB (mostly postgres-compatible). Then there is supabase which also includes a postgres DB and AWS where you can run a small RDS instance free for 12 months.
