| Notes | CREATE DATABASE and DROP DATABASE are disabled on Shared clusters, so a schema change means terminating and rebuilding the cluster. Shared clusters are reachable from anywhere with no firewall configuration and are stated as not for production. The pricing page no longer prints a free plan card, so the docs are the only current source. |
