The implicit promise of a serverless database is “You pay for what you use when you use it. When not in use, everything scales down to zero.” CockroachDB serverless has a permanent free tier to make sure every developer always has the right capacity and 99.99% uptime — and never overspends to get them.

CockroachDB offers insights into distributed database technology, scalable SQL architecture, and cloud-native data management, providing documentation, tutorials, and case studies for building resilient and highly available applications. By exploring CockroachDB's curated content, developers and database administrators can learn about distributed SQL databases, multi-region replication, and transactional consistency for powering mission-critical services in the cloud. Whether you're migrating from legacy databases, scaling globally distributed applications, or ensuring data resilience in the face of failures, CockroachDB offers resources to meet your data storage and processing needs.

CockroachDB serverless charges you only for the actual data storage and activity of your cluster. You are guaranteed to never exceed your set spend limit, so there will never be an end-of-the-month charge that comes as a shocking surprise.

CockroachDB Serverless: Free Forever. Seriously.

When is a “serverless database” not actually serverless?

Q: When is a free serverless database truly free as in beer?
