Yeah, I’d imagine this will be cheaper than AWS RDS for low storage use cases (lack of fixed monthly compute costs wins out), but more expensive for high storage. Like quite cheap for a 10-100 GB DB, quite expensive for a 1-10 TB GB.

Though they do say:

> when we enable global read replication, you won’t have to pay extra for it, nor will replication multiply your storage consumption

With AWS you’ll have at least one read replica for failover, so $0.23/GB. And if you really want global read replicas, with AWS you might end up with something like a primary in North America and read replicas in South America, Europe and Asia. That would work out to $0.46/GB, so closes the gap a bit.

at least at the moment D1 is for a completely different use case, d1 has currently a limit of 100mb and will now be increased to 1gb.

The costs as a whole has me worried. I'm not sure it'll be better than just using https://turso.tech/pricing as that is already a free tier of 8GB and it might cost less overall the paid tier.

Better than Planetscale at 2.5 per GB and you have to pay for replicas.
