This guide compares five ways to host PostgreSQL, from a local install to fully managed services, with a decision table, a "when to choose" list and an FAQ.

Changes

• When to choose Prisma Postgres, laptop bullet: the Free plan's 2 GB is now described as storage for the whole workspace, shared by its databases, as Prisma's docs state it, and the bullet links the size check in the Move a local Postgres database online post (https://www.prisma.io/blog/from-local-to-production-with-prisma-postgres#how-big-is-your-laptop-database). It previously gave no scope for the 2 GB.
• FAQ "How do I move a Postgres database from my laptop online?": the same workspace scope and the same size-check link.
• Decision table, Prisma Postgres "Best for" cell: "2 GB free, no time limit" is now "2 GB free per workspace, no time limit". Prettier re-padded the table's columns; no other cell changed.
• FAQ "Is there a free way to host PostgreSQL?": the Free plan's limits now read "for the whole workspace, 200k operations a month, 2 GB of storage and 50 databases", so all four mentions on the page give the same scope and the operations and database limits are not read as per database.

Sources checked 2026-10-28

• https://www.prisma.io/pricing.md: "200k operations / month; 2 GB storage; 50 databases"
• https://www.prisma.io/docs/full-stack-tutorial.md: "each number is shared across everything in the workspace, not granted to each database"
• https://www.prisma.io/blog/from-local-to-production-with-prisma-postgres.md: "## How big is your laptop database? [#how-big-is-your-laptop-database]"

Checks

• git diff --check: clean.
• Prettier 3.9.9 (print width 80, single quotes, no semicolons) run on the file; it changed only the decision table's padding.
• Claims check: 2 matches on the diff, both the container term in existing wording about running Postgres yourself (the self-managed table row, which prettier re-padded, and the free-hosting FAQ), none a claim for Prisma; 0 matches on the body and commit messages.
• Content-only change to one MDX file; the site build runs in CI.

Change walkthrough

The change updates content/04-postgresql/03-5-ways-to-host-postgresql.mdx so that every mention of the Prisma Postgres Free plan states that its limits (2 GB storage, 200k operations/month, 50 databases) apply to the whole workspace rather than to each database, and it adds a link to a "How big is your laptop database?" section so readers can check a local database's size before migrating.

• Consistency across the article. All four Free-plan mentions now give the same scope: the decision table's "Best for" cell (line 277), the "when to choose" laptop bullet (line 291), the free-hosting FAQ (line 315), and the move-from-laptop FAQ (line 331). The laptop bullet and the move-from-laptop FAQ also gained the size-check anchor link, which fits the articles' existing pattern of deep-linking to comparison material.

• Factual grounding. The workspace-scope wording matches the cited sources (Prisma's pricing page and the full-stack tutorial's statement that each number is shared across everything in the workspace), consistent with AGENTS.md's "never fabricate / label uncertainty" rule. The incremental delta reworded the free-hosting FAQ so the workspace qualifier covers all three plan numbers, not just storage.

• Scope and mechanics. Content-only change to a single MDX file; no frontmatter, lastUpdated, links, or UTM parameters were altered beyond the new anchor links. Prettier re-padding of the decision table columns is cosmetic. The site build (which validates internal links and anchors) runs in CI.

Findings outside the diff

• 🟡 Minor · consistency content/04-postgresql/03-5-ways-to-host-postgresql.mdx — Free-tier FAQ still presents the 2 GB limit without the workspace scope the PR adds elsewhere
  The PR clarifies in two places (the "when to choose" bullet and the migration FAQ) that the Free plan's 2 GB is workspace-wide storage shared by its databases, specifically because it previously read as 2 GB per database. The third mention in the same article, in the answer to "Is there a free way to host PostgreSQL?" (line 315, outside the diff), still says the Free plan "includes 200k operations a month, 2 GB of storage and 50 databases" with no scope qualifier, so a reader of that answer alone can still come away with the per-database misreading the PR sets out to remove.
  Recommended fix: Extend the same qualifier to the free-tier FAQ answer, e.g.: "...includes 200k operations a month, 2 GB of storage shared across the workspace and 50 databases."
