Shared

CrateDB Cloud’s Shared Plan provides an affordable and easy-to-setup option for users who require basic database functionalities. The plan is built around the principle of cost-effectiveness and is particularly well-suited for development, testing, or non-critical production environments.

Variable Performance
Since your cluster will be sharing vCPUs with other clusters, the performance may vary depending on the overall load on the underlying machine. This variability makes it less predictable compared to Dedicated Plans, where your database is running on dedicated resources.

Fair-Use Principle
The Shared Plan operates on a fair-use principle. All users are expected to utilize the shared resources responsibly so that the system remains equitable and functional for everyone.

Note

*CRFREE: This plan is aimed at new users who want to test and evaluate CrateDB Cloud and is perpetually free to use. Every user can deploy one free tier cluster in their organization without adding a payment method. Free tier clusters will be suspended if they are not used for 7 days, and deleted after 7 more days of inactivity. They cannot be scaled or changed.

Dedicated

CrateDB Cloud’s Dedicated Plan is designed to provide robust, scalable, and high-performance database solutions. Unlike the Shared Plan, the Dedicated Plan offers dedicated resources, including dedicated vCPUs, to meet the demands of high-availability and high-throughput environments.

Recommended Setup for High Availability
While it’s possible to start with just one node, for applications needing high availability and fault tolerance, we recommend using at least 3 nodes. This ensures that your data is safely replicated and that the cluster can handle node failures gracefully.

Custom

For organizations with specialized requirements that go beyond the Shared and Dedicated Plans, CrateDB Cloud offers custom solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our sales team and solutions engineers work closely with you to architect and deploy a custom cluster configuration, ensuring optimal performance, scalability, and security for your mission-critical applications.

Whether you have stringent compliance mandates, complex integrations, or unique scalability challenges, our custom solutions provide the flexibility and expertise to meet your business objectives and technical requirements.
