Prisma Postgres FAQ
Is Prisma Postgres free to use?+
Yes. The Free plan costs $0, requires no credit card and includes 200,000 operations per month across up to 50 databases.
What happens when I reach the Free plan limit?+
Databases stop accepting queries until the allowance resets or you upgrade; you can temporarily lift the limit for 24 hours from the Console.
Can I create a database without signing up?+
Yes. Run `npx create-db` to get a temporary Postgres instance instantly; claim it later to move it into your workspace.
Does Prisma Postgres support pgvector?+
Yes, on all plans. Enable it with `CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;` and store embeddings in vector columns.
Are backups included?+
Daily automatic backups are included on paid plans (7-day retention on Starter/Pro, 30-day on Business). The Free plan has none.
Which regions are available?+
Six regions: us-west-1 (SF), us-east-1 (N. Virginia), eu-west-3 (Paris), eu-central-1 (Frankfurt), ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo) and ap-southeast-1 (Singapore).
