At bit.io, _if_ you ran the database on the free tier for the full month, it cost us around $0.83. We scaled to zero, so the most common case was that free tier DBs cost us about 1/30th of that. That database was running on its own pod, isolated from every other database.

Yes and they were really promising but they were acquired and shut down by Databricks. Not that it matters much for users, but it’s important to know why the market looks the way it does.

Startup time after you scaled to zero was 250ms.
