Discord Bot
Hey, I just have a few questions about Neon as I'm moving from ElephantSQL which is closing down soon. I paid like £10 on their site and it was perfect for the time I used it.
Is Neon a good choice for hosting a database with that would need to be accessed 24/7 as the Discord Bot is online 24/7 every day of the month, along with our dashboard that would be connected to the database. There is a lot of data that would be added, read and modified in the database. I understand there is compute with Neon, something ElephantSQL didn't have. How does this work? Which plan would I have to get to meet the needs above. We have around 237 MiB of data. I just don't fully understand the whole compute thing at the moment. Thanks!

@Junior the free plan allows you to run a database all month long
The free plan also has 512MB of data
I think it would work great for you
Sounds like you'll save 10 euros a month 🙂

@Junior when we refer to compute we mean a Postgres instance. Neon provides you with compute time that you can spread across multiple projects and copies of your database.
As @Tristan Partin said, our free tier provides the ability to run an always on Postgres instance that stores up to 0.5GiB of data.
