CrateDB Cloud

The fully managed version of CrateDB. Deployed, operated, and maintained by the team that built it. Your team focuses on building, not on running a database.
CrateDB Cloud console overview

What CrateDB Cloud handles for you

Running a distributed database in production involves a long tail of operational work: provisioning, patching, scaling, backup scheduling, monitoring, and incident response. CrateDB Cloud removes all of it. You get a production-grade CrateDB cluster without a dedicated DBA or infrastructure team.

Deployment in seconds
A new cluster is ready to query in under a minute. No infrastructure provisioning, no configuration files, no networking setup. 

Elastic scaling
Add nodes or increase compute without downtime. CrateDB Cloud rebalances the cluster automatically as you scale up or down.

Zero-downtime upgrades
New CrateDB releases are applied by the team that built the database, without interrupting availability or requiring a maintenance window.

Automated backups
Hourly backups on Dedicated plans, daily on Shared. Point-in-time restore without manual intervention.

Built-in monitoring
Cluster health, query performance, and resource utilization are tracked continuously. No external observability stack required to get started.

SQL Scheduler and table policies
Automate recurring tasks: data expiry, aggregation, compaction, directly in the platform without building external pipelines.

Plans

CrateDB Cloud is available on three plans, from a free tier for development to custom configurations for large production workloads. Dedicated plans start at $0.246/hour and include basic support and uptime SLAs. Pay by credit card, invoice, or through AWS, Azure, or GCP Marketplace.

When CrateDB Cloud is the right choice

Good fit
You want production-grade CrateDB without an ops team
CrateDB Cloud is operated by the engineers who built the database. Deployment, scaling, patching, and incident response are all handled for you.
 
Good fit
You are building on AWS, Azure, or GCP
CrateDB Cloud runs natively on all three. You can deploy in the same region as your application and use marketplace billing to consolidate your cloud spend.
 
Good fit
You need an uptime SLA and official support
Dedicated and Custom plans include SLA-backed uptime and direct support from CrateDB engineers, from a 4-hour S1 response on Basic to a 1-hour response on Premium.
Consider Enterprise instead if
Your data cannot leave your own infrastructure
If regulatory requirements or internal policy require on-premises or private cloud deployment, CrateDB Enterprise is the right path. The same engine, fully under your control.

Free tier. No credit card required.

Need to deploy on your own infrastructure instead?

CrateDB Enterprise runs the same core engine on-premises, in a private cloud, or in a hybrid setup. No migration, no schema changes, no rewrite. Your data model and SQL carry over as-is.
