Congrats on the launch!
I’m a bit confused about the pricing.
The docs and pricing pages on your website don’t seem to outline how the pay-as-you-go pricing will work.
Is this still being figured out?

Take a look at the Accelerate and Pulse pricing details. Prisma Postgres comes bundled with these, so the pay-as-you-go pricing is the same: https://www.prisma.io/pricing#accelerate
We'll continue to make improvements to the pricing on the way to General Availability to make it both as easy to understand and affordable as possible.
- Each incremental concurrent query allocates additional compute resource to your database - All queries share that pool of compute resource - Queries have strict timeout limits. 10 seconds on most plans configurable up to 60 seconds.
Prisma Postgres is designed to serve interactive applications with users waiting for a response. In a sense, we are adopting some of the design principles underlying DynamoDB (strict limits on queries) and combining it with the flexibility of a Postgres database that is fully yours to configure and use as you see fit.
Companies, especially smaller ones starting out, will run analytics in the same DB as the application DB.
A major plus of using a Postgres DB is the flexibility of doing analytics and serving apps. It can do it all. Analytics queries will often easily exceed your timeout limits.
However, when we release Prisma Postgres in GA (couple of months), you will be able to upgrade your postgres instance (CPU, storage, etc.) and that will be db-specific cost.
