## Good

- The document model most developers already know, so hiring and Stack Overflow are easy
- Full-text and vector search built into the same cluster
- Free M0 cluster never expires

## Not good

- The jump from Flex to Dedicated is where the bill stops being small
- Licensed under the SSPL, which is not open source however often it is described that way
- 512 MB on the free tier is the tightest allowance in this list
