Well, yes and to a limit, of course. We want to enable all developers to discover Capella as easily as possible and we made it available with no credit card requirement. Ideal for building MVP products and side projects. As your app scales, we recommend scaling your Capella plan to take advantage of all the services the platform offers<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be able to maintain Free Tier as an offering for you, we have to set up some limitations as it\u2019s not a free all you can eat buffet. You are entitled to the same quality you get on Couchbase Server, Fully Managed, and we ask you to be aware of the following guidelines:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a certain amount of time of inactivity, the cluster will be paused and you will receive a communication.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can come in and reactivate the cluster at any point. This might take a few minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cluster will be deleted if there is extended period of inactivity (30 days), and of course, you can can create another free tier cluster at any point\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the world of software development, the ability to quickly prototype, test, and iterate on ideas is crucial. This provides you with a real-world environment to develop and test your applications, ensuring that you can validate concepts and workflows before scaling up to larger, paid deployments. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning is a continuous journey. The perpetual nature of the free tier and ability to spin up a free tier cluster at any point even after deletion lends to that experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Migrating to Capella<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those already utilizing Couchbase, we\u2019ve introduced an intuitive migration tool to facilitate the seamless transfer of data to Capella. This tool supports live migrations from any Couchbase 6.x or newer clusters, allowing for a smooth, interruption-free transition. Soon, a hosted version of this migration tool will also be available within the Capella interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing with Capella\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you get started with your Capella journey with Free Tier, we want to make it easy for you to build applications.
