This is huge. Looking forward to playing with it. Based on your docs it doesn't seem like there's going to be a way to run this on a free version somewhere because of the Postgres requirement right?
Any thoughts on if SQLite would be suitable and likely to be supported in the future? That would make this really perfect getting a MVP going.
I think there are a lot of free hosts that could work?
- Fly.io has a free tier that has postgres (if you want to debug from your workstation against live pg, which is useful, it's $2/mo for a public IP)
- Supabase has a free tier (with the caveat that schema changes will resync the replica - which is fine as long as db is smallish)
- AWS/RDS offers one year free
Those are just off the top of my head. Plus as jitl mentions you can just run the Dockerized pg in any free docker env.
zero-cache and Postgres both will run for free on your local machine in docker. If you want to run zero-cache for free in the cloud, you can probably run Postgres for free in the cloud in the same way.
zero-cache uses SQLite internally, but the component that’s missing for SQLite support overall is a replication log that zero-cache can subscribe to.
Or are you imagining zero-cache itself as the DB of record?
