Always-on PostgreSQL, from $5 a month

Always-on databases now run on Cosmoner infrastructure — PostgreSQL 16 or 17 with the disk included, starting at $5 for a 512 MB development database.

Always-on databases are now PostgreSQL clusters running on our own infrastructure. Pick a version and a size, and you get one monthly price with the disk included — no per-node multiplier and no storage line on top.

2 vCPU / 2 GB25 GB$19

The 512 MB size is for development, staging and side projects: it is capped at 50 connections, so put a pooler in front of it if your framework opens more.

That is around 40% less than the plans they replace, because we are no longer paying a vendor's markup on capacity we already run.

What a cluster looks like

  • PostgreSQL 16 or 17. The major version is fixed for the life of the cluster, so pick the one your application and extensions are ready for.
  • One node, in Stockholm. Every cluster runs in our own data centre, next to the apps in your project. Storage is persistent and survives restarts and maintenance.
  • Reachable from your apps. The connection string on the cluster's page works from the apps in the same project. Public endpoints are on the way.

The previous always-on plans are retired

The MySQL, MongoDB and multi-node plans that were resold from other providers can no longer be purchased. Existing clusters are untouched: they keep running where they are, at their original price, and you can still see and delete them from the panel.

Scales-to-zero databases are unchanged.

Read the databases guide for how always-on clusters are sized and billed.
