FalkorDB Cloud

DB 3.5/10

Fully managed in-memory graph database (Cypher/OpenCypher) with a no-card free tier on AWS or GCP.

FalkorDB Cloud scores 3.5/10 for free value in DB. The main constraint: One managed FalkorDB instance on AWS or GCP with 100 MB RAM (max 100 MB graph dataset), multi-graph/multi-tenancy and graph access control, with community support and no credit card required.

Category DB Kind Managed graph database Caveats In-memory, so 100 MB RAM caps total graph data at 100 MB; no TLS, VPC, high availability, or automated backups, and idle instances are stopped after 1 day and deleted after 7 days of inactivity. Card required No Eligibility anyone

What you get

No credit card required to sign up

100 MB managed graph instance on AWS or GCP

Multi-graph, multi-tenancy, and graph access control included

No data persistence guarantees: no automated backups and idle instances are deleted after 7 days

Limitations

100 MB RAM / graph dataset

FalkorDB is in-memory, so the 100 MB RAM allocation is the hard cap on total graph dataset size across all graphs on the instance.
Stopped after 1 day idle

Free instances that are not utilized for 1 day are automatically stopped.
Deleted after 7 days inactivity

Free instances that remain inactive are deleted after 7 days; contact sales for an extension.
No TLS encryption

TLS in-transit encryption is only available on paid plans (Startup and above).
No VPC networking

VPC network isolation is Enterprise-only and not available on the free tier.
No high availability / clustering

High availability, cluster deployment, multi-zone deployment, and scalability are PRO/Enterprise features, not on free.
No automated backups / persistence

Automated backups and continuous persistence are paid-only; free instances have no backup guarantee.
Community support only

Support on the free tier is community-only (email ticket and Discord); 24/7 and dedicated support require paid plans.
One free instance

The free tier provides a single managed instance for evaluation and prototyping.
