Oracle NoSQL Database
What Oracle NoSQL Database is
Oracle NoSQL Database is a hybrid-deployment NoSQL database with support for TTL, clustering, and multiple regions. Applications can connect using Java, Python, Node.js, C, or C# drivers, or through a REST API. Its Always Free plan includes three tables, 50 read units, 50 write units, and 25 GB of storage. Provisioned capacity is priced by resource: read capacity is $0.01 a month, write capacity is $0.13 a month, and storage capacity is $0.07 a month, each billed monthly. The On-Demand Capacity option scales with application consumption, but no price is listed for it. A Hosted Environment option lists 420,000 read units, 280,000 write units, and 17.5 TB of storage; its price is also not listed. The pricing note gives a paid starting price of $0.01/mo, while the separate paid-from figure is 0.0064 /mo. These figures are listed separately from the Always Free allowance, so review the unit and capacity details when considering paid use.
