Good fit if

Hobby workspace is $0/month plus compute; Pro is $25/month plus compute. Free compute services exist with limited resources; paid compute is billed per provisioned service and prorated to the second.

May not fit if

A $0 workspace does not make every production service free: compute, bandwidth, persistent disks, build minutes and database resources are billed or capped separately. Free Postgres is limited and not a production durability promise.

Features and benefits

  • Hobby workspace is $0/month plus compute; Pro is $25/month plus compute. Free compute services exist with limited resources; paid compute is billed per provisioned service and prorated to the second.
  • Managed Postgres and Redis-compatible Key Value are available; custom domains with automatic TLS, private networking and deployment from Git are supported, subject to plan and service limits.

Limitations

  • A $0 workspace does not make every production service free: compute, bandwidth, persistent disks, build minutes and database resources are billed or capped separately. Free Postgres is limited and not a production durability promise.
  • Custom domains and TLS are included only within plan allowances; domain registration is separate. Horizontal autoscaling requires Pro or above.
