# Free, Production-Grade Databases. Get setup in minutes. Great for testing and development

**Neon:** My top choice for AI apps. Database live in <1 sec. Straightforward API for creating / modifying databases and role.

**Supabase:** Auth integration.

**Aiven:** Most generous free tier (5GB) and supports both Postgres & MySQL.

I use these for creating a 'one-time-use' database for testing to live client projects.

* **DATS-4:** temporary on-the-fly databases powered by Neon
* **Custom GPT:** powered by Supabase with Cricket ODI data
* **Realtime Voice AI:** powered by Aiven

All open source. Hit 'Docs' on app site for source code
