Serverless Postgres GA: Production-Ready Databases for Large Scale and AI Apps

---

Today, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Serverless Postgres — a fully managed, fault-tolerant, and effortlessly scalable Postgres database service purpose-built for large scale and AI applications.

Since the public preview, over 50,000 databases have been created for use cases ranging from multi-tenant SaaS to AI agent memory, RAG pipelines, and ephemeral dev environments. With a single API call, you can instantly deploy a Postgres database that scales to zero when idle—and will soon scale up automatically with demand.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to scale your production database, Serverless Postgres radically eases building, deploying, and scaling your databases using a simple API.

In addition to announcing the general availability of Serverless Postgres, we're also introducing:

• Larger instance types offering up to 32GB RAM and 8 vCPUs
• Simplified pricing — written data and outbound transfer are now included at no extra cost across all instance types
• An updated free tier and plan-included usage

Starting July 1st, we will begin billing for your June usage based on this new pricing model ranging from $0.04/hour to $1.28/hour and always billed by the second.

	Free	Small	Medium	Large	New XLarge	New 2XLarge	New 3XLarge
RAM	1GB	1GB	2GB	4GB	8GB	16GB	32GB
vCPU	0.25	0.25	0.5	1	2	4	8
Price	$0/mo	$29.76/mo $0.04/h	$59.52/mo $0.08/hr	$119.04/mo $0.16/hr	$238.08/mo $0.32/hr	$476.16/mo $0.64/hr	$952.32/mo $1.28/hr

For instance types Small and above, storage is billed at $0.50 per GB per month ($0.000672 per GB-hour). The Free instance includes 1GB of storage.

To make pricing easier to understand at a glance, we’ve included both hourly and monthly equivalents. Serverless Postgres, like all other resources, is billed per second.

If you need higher resource limits, let's chat!

No Hidden Fees for Written and Transferred Data

As part of General Availability, we’re now including written data and outbound data transfer—previously charged separately—in compute pricing, at no extra cost. This change makes billing more predictable by removing the guesswork. Just like with compute and storage, you only pay for what you actually use—and nothing more.

Serverless Postgres Free Instance and Plan-Included Usage

We are also adjusting the Free tier. The Free instance now includes 5 free compute hours per month with 1GB of included storage.

As for compute instances, the Starter, Pro, and Scale plans include usage credit that can be used for Serverless Postgres services offering a great way to get started with Postgres services at minimal cost.
