An affordable alternative to Supabase and Firebase. Spin up a managed PostgreSQL database in seconds — no credit card, no config, no drama.
A self-hosted DBaaS alternative built for people who care about shipping fast and spending less.
Spin up a fully managed PostgreSQL database in under 30 seconds. No Kubernetes YAML, no connection pooling setup, no VPC config — just a connection string and you're building.
Supabase and Firebase charge enterprise prices for simple workloads. DBaaS.dev gives you the same managed PostgreSQL experience at a fraction of the cost — designed for lean teams and indie hackers.
The free tier is genuinely free — no credit card required, no trial period. Ship your side project, validate your idea, and only pay when you actually need more resources.
From your first prototype to your first thousand users, DBaaS.dev scales with you. No overprovisioning, no lock-in — just reliable, cheap Postgres hosting that stays out of your way.
If you've looked at Supabase or Firebase for your next project, you already know the problem: pricing scales fast, and free tiers expire before you've validated your idea. DBaaS.dev is a cheap Postgres hosting alternative built specifically for indie hackers, solo founders, and small startups who need a real managed PostgreSQL database without paying enterprise prices.
Unlike other DBaaS platforms, there's no credit card required to get started. Spin up an instant Postgres database in under 30 seconds, get a connection string, and ship. When your side project grows, upgrade to a paid plan — still far cheaper than comparable services.
Most database hosting services are designed for large teams with big budgets. DBaaS.dev is the opposite — a self-hosted DBaaS optimised for lean teams and solo developers who want managed PostgreSQL without the overhead. No SLAs to negotiate, no sales calls, no surprise bills. Just fast, affordable Postgres hosting that stays out of your way.
Whether you're building a SaaS MVP, a personal project, or testing a new idea — DBaaS.dev gives you production-grade PostgreSQL at a price that makes sense for early-stage development.
