Astro DB -- launching next week -- has a generous free tier and always will.

1. This isn't an adoption tactic for us, it's essential to our entire model that as many Astro users can access DB as possible. Locking that down would leave us worse off (think GitHub).

2. Our DB architecture is more efficient by design (vs. Planetscale or RDS). Cheap, scalable databases without the 5+ sec cold-start wakeup nonsense.

More on all of this next week, but yea... bizarre timing to be launching a hosted database service next week with an almost exact 1:1 difference of vision + execution 😅
