What are some Free Database Providers that don't go to sleep on inactivity?
What are some FREE (not cheap) tier plans from database providers you know, that don't go to sleep or scale to zero on inactivity, and don't have limited runtime hours?
Need it for small tools or projects, for myself or work.
Don't need much. Probably need less than 1gb, maybe even less than 500mb.
But, need 24/7 runtime without it going to sleep when not in use, like Supabase does.

I don’t think this exists, what you’re asking for is an always on DB - that will pretty much always cost money. Even shared/pooled instances will also sleep if there isn’t any activity for awhile.
Why don’t you just use SQLite or PocketDB?

I think Xata doesn't sleep, but I'm not sure
This is the answer, it doesn’t sleep or scale to zero, period. Pretty awesome.
Hosting on vercel, so I don't know if you can run an sqlite or pocketdb instance on there
Thank you! Seems like the right answer!
Xata has 30 day inactivity, but it doesn't affect Postgres
