The Best Free Postgres Tier

This is an overview of the Free Postgres Tier Upgrade deal within the DEV++ Membership.

DEV++ provides exclusive partnerships and offers that let you dabble, experiment, and become a stronger developer.

DEV++ is now exclusively available as a prize for participation in challenges, hackathons, and other DEV achievements.

We want to help ensure that you don't get nickel-and-dimed into spending out of pocket on your career. A lot of the time, free tiers are capped to prevent abuse, which is understandable, but it still sucks. We have negotiated a 4x upgrade on the Neon Postgres Database Free Tier as part of the DEV++ membership.

Neon is a really impressive serverless PostgreSQL offering to start. It has auto-scaling, branching, pgvector integrations, and more—pretty much everything you want from fully-managed Postgres. The free tier, as is, helps you get going with 0.5GB of storage and ten branches, but the DEV++ offering really enhances it.

Free Postgres via DEV++

  • 2GB of storage
  • 10 free branches
  • 15% discount on the paid plan, if you need it
