Ask HN: Cheapest hosted database options for 1M read & writes per day?

Posted by jerrygoyal on Monday March 20, 2023 @07:51AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Building a tool for free users so don't want to spend bucks on database. Looking for a hosted database with generous free tier for read/write ops.

I should mention that read and write operations are expected to surpass 1M/day.. Firestore is a no-go (expensive).

If there's no NoSQL option available I could also look into SQL DB given it's hosted.

MongoDB Atlas is a nice option. Not free but quite cheap for smaller scale. Also check out Supabase and Render - not NoSQL but generous free tiers.

Supabase developer here: keep in mind that, while PostgreSQL is unapologetically SQL-based, it's support for JSON and JSONB fields give it a lot of the powers of NoSQL. These days the lines are becoming more blurred.

Here's an article I wrote with a basic introduction to the NoSQL features of PostgreSQL: https://supabase.com/blog/sql-or-nosql-both-with-postgresql
