Our notes
Choosing Aiven for PostgreSQL Free
Who it suits
Learning PostgreSQL, a prototype, a demo app or a test database for a course. It gives you a real managed PostgreSQL server with 1 vCPU and 1 GB of memory, so queries behave the way they will in production, but 1 GB of storage caps how much data you can keep.
Compared with other Aiven plans
The first paid step buys storage, not compute. Developer at $5 a month keeps the same 1 vCPU and 1 GB of memory and raises storage from 1 GB to 8 GB. Hobbyist at $12 records the same CPU, memory and storage in our catalog, so check Aiven’s plan page for what the extra $7 adds before choosing it. Real headroom starts at Startup-4: 2 vCPU, 4 GB of memory and 80 GB for $75 a month.
Before you sign up
You cannot choose the cloud or region, so the database may sit far from your application and add latency to every query. Connection pooling is not included: an app that opens many short-lived connections, such as serverless functions, has nothing in front of the database to share them. Integrations are also left out, so plan any logging or metrics export for a paid plan.
