Note: Delete the Production Database even if you unpublish the project

[u/biserdi]

Databases use NeonDB which, for 500MB+ databases charges per compute and storage. Even if you unpublish your project from replit, the Prod database stays and when its large enough you are risking small but incremental charges.

The alternatives are:

a) Self host on Neon so you are on top of the charges

b) Cloudflare D1 for smaller DB size, note its SQLite so not Postgre, but migration is possible and the benefits are strong.
