Upgrade to additional storage on Free Plan?
Hi,
I have a stack that's currently self-hosted on premises, that I run for a small local non-profit group. We have a postgres container with DBs used for Synapse (Matrix) and Keycloak - each of which gets very little traffic, but the Matrix DB is ~550MB. We want to move these services to a cloud server, but our maximum budget is ~$20/mo, which needs to cover both the DB, as well as the few small containers that access it.
Neon looks very cool (I especially like the branch based workflow concept), and it seems to be a bit closer to the kind of "serverless" we're looking for (i.e. scale to "zero", rather than scale from 1->"infinite"). The only issue is that the storage limit is just a bit below what we need, and the "Launch" plan at $19/mo would use all of our budget with no room for the containers we need to run too . At that point, we're better off just running an EC2 with self-hosted postgres, or we could even get a small AWS Aurora instance for a bit cheaper than the Neon Launch plan.
I see that the storage on the Launch / Scale / Business plans is upgradeable - I was wondering if there's any way to apply the same sort of upgrade to the free plan - i.e. keep the default compute limits, no team accounts, etc - just increase the available storage for a lower price than the Launch plan? Or failing this, are there any other pricing options etc that might help us?
