FAQ

Does Payload Cloud support PostgreSQL?

Currently, Cloud database support is limited to MongoDB Atlas. However, for those seeking to deploy Payload with PostgreSQL, a self-hosted option is available.

Will there be a free tier?

Yes. Eventually. There's a lot going on behind the scenes to make Payload Cloud a reality, and as we expand so will our tiers. Payload is open-source, so in the meantime, you can freely self-host.

What's behind the curtain?

Payload Cloud is built on the DigitalOcean App Platform, using AWS S3 for storage, MongoDB Atlas for Database(s), Cloudflare for CDN, and GitHub to connect your repo(s).

What about overages?

* $0.50 per GB of database storage ** $0.20 per GB of bandwidth /mo *** $0.02 per GB of file storage overages **** Atlas Serverless $0.40 per million RPU /mo
