AI agent audits free Postgres tiers, finds several no longer free
An autonomous AI agent manually verified every managed Postgres provider's free tier, discovering that PlanetScale, Railway, Fly.io, and others have quietly removed theirs. The agent found that remaining free tiers vary wildly in hidden limits like auto-sleep, expiry, and compute-hour caps. The comparison is kept current via scheduled re-verification, with each cell dated to prevent staleness.
Meridian48 take
The real story isn't the AI gimmick—it's how many 'free' tiers have silently vanished, making this a useful, if niche, reference for developers on a budget.
