Free allowance
What the free plan includes, as the provider states it.
- requests / day
- 100K
- Counts HTTP requests, RPC sessions, incoming WebSocket messages (at a 20:1 ratio) and alarm invocations. Resets daily at 00:00 UTC.
- compute / day
- 3.61 GB-h
- 13,000 GB-seconds of wall-clock duration a day. Each active object counts as 128 MB of memory; idle objects that are eligible for hibernation use none.
- storage
- 5 GB
- Per account; each object is capped at 1 GB on the Free plan. Workers Free offers only the SQLite storage backend (not the legacy key-value backend); its key-value API stores data in a hidden SQLite table.
- rows read / day
- 5M
- Key-value API calls such as get() and list() read from a hidden SQLite table and count as rows read too. Resets daily at 00:00 UTC.
- rows written / day
- 100K
- Deletes, key-value put() calls and each setAlarm() call count as rows written. Resets daily at 00:00 UTC.
