Basic
- Cost-effective option that supports single-replica deployments.
- Ideal for departmental use cases with smaller data volumes that do not have hard reliability guarantees.
Services in the basic tier are meant to be fixed in size and do not allow scaling, both automatic and manual. Users can upgrade to the Scale or Enterprise tier to scale their services.
Scale
Designed for workloads requiring enhanced SLAs (2+ replica deployments), scalability, and advanced security.
- Offers support for features such as:
- Private networking support.
- Compute-compute separation.
- Flexible scaling options (scale up/down, in/out).
Enterprise
Caters to large-scale, mission critical deployments that have stringent security and compliance needs.
- Everything in Scale, plus
- Flexible scaling: standard profiles (
1:4 vCPU:memory ratio), as well asHighMemory (1:8 ratio)andHighCPU (1:2 ratio)custom profiles. - Provides the highest levels of performance and reliability guarantees.
- Supports enterprise-grade security:
- Single Sign On (SSO)
- Enhanced Encryption: For AWS and GCP services. Services are encrypted by our key by default and can be rotated to their key to enable Customer Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK).
- Allows Scheduled upgrades: Users can select the day of the week/time window for upgrades, both database and cloud releases.
- Offers HIPAA Compliance.
- Exports Backups to the user's account.
Single replica services across all three tiers are meant to be fixed in size (8 GiB, 12 GiB)
