how to
How to create a free PostgreSQL database in Nigeria.
Four steps, about two minutes. Playground is free.
Open Databases and pick PostgreSQL
Create a managed database and choose PostgreSQL. Redis and MySQL sit on the same free Playground tier if you need them later.
Choose the Playground plan
Playground is free: 1 vCPU, 256 MiB memory, 2 GiB disk, 10 GiB egress. Upgrade when the app outgrows it.
Copy the connection string
Paste DATABASE_URL into your app or deployment. The database runs in Lagos, so users in Nigeria hit a nearby host.
why here
A free Postgres that actually lives in Lagos.
Overseas free tiers work until your users are in Nigeria and the database is in Virginia. RumptyCloud runs the box here.
Infrastructure in Lagos
The PostgreSQL instance runs on RumptyCloud infrastructure operated in Lagos, Nigeria — not a replica of a US or EU free tier.
Prices in naira when you grow
Playground stays free. Paid plans can display in naira for Nigerian visitors, so a Lagos team can budget without guessing FX.
Same free tier for Redis and MySQL
Need a cache or a MySQL app? Same Playground plan. SeeRedis / Valkey and MySQL.
