In this, we will check out 3 Postgres platforms you can use for free.
Why PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source database. It supports SQL queries, making it easy to use while offering the flexibility and reliability needed for modern full-stack apps.
PostgreSQL is also recognized for its robust data integrity, as the system follows the principles of Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID). In doing so, PostgreSQL never loses, corrupts, or allows inconsistent data, which is important for applications such as banking and healthcare.
Neon
Neon is a serverless, cloud-based PostgreSQL solution that separates compute and storage. This unique architecture allows Neon to autoscale compute resources based on demand, while storing data in a shared, multi-tenant key-value system.
This setup is ideal for developers who want a fast, flexible, and cost-efficient PostgreSQL experience without the overhead of managing infrastructure. Neon can run on managed cloud services or physical hardware, providing teams with greater deployment flexibility.
One of the features is its free tier, making it easy for developers to build and test small projects or MVPs.
Aiven
Aiven offers a range of open-source managed data infrastructures, including PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka, Elasticsearch, Grafana, InfluxDB, MySQL, Redis and more.
Aiven supports deployment across various cloud providers, enabling users to select the best infrastructure for their specific needs. When using the free plan, you can only access one service; however, Aiven offers a 30-day free trial that allows you to access all services.
Render
Render is a more traditional hosting platform that enables you to build and deploy your applications, websites, and databases. It is an excellent choice for both seasoned developers and beginners, as you don't have to worry about using multiple platforms to host your application and database.
Apart from Render’s user-friendly interface, it offers a free PostgreSQL hosting plan for development and testing, hobby projects, and MVPs.
