Limits & watch-outs
- No SLA, multi-region high availability, or encryption at rest on the free tier (Prod Pack is paid).
- Overages trigger an email notice and possible throttling; bandwidth/storage overages throttle unless auto-upgrade is on.
- The official page contradicts itself on size (250 MB vs 256 MB) — we show both.
- Attaching a card upgrades the account to pay-as-you-go; a no-signup temporary database is also offered.
Best for
A small Redis cache or queue for a side project.
What to watch
The pricing page lists 250 MB in one place and 256 MB in another; plan for the smaller number.
