What you get

Paid — $30/mo compute (Performance). Performance: compute from $30/mo + storage $0.177/GB-month (effective, ~5x columnar compression), up to 8 CPU/32 GB & 16 TB per service, HA replicas, PITR to 3 days. Postgres + TimescaleDB + pgvector.

Compressed storage at effective ~$0.177/GB makes time-series/analytics far cheaper than vanilla Postgres; hybrid row-columnar engine
