What is NamiDB Cloud

NamiDB Cloud is the hosted, multi-tenant SaaS form of NamiDB, operated on namidb.com.

Same engine as the open-source library. What you get on top is the operational story: zero-ops onboarding, per-namespace scale-to-zero, encrypted-at-rest tenants, regional availability, observability, and on-call humans.

What it gives you

Scale-to-zero per namespace

Compute is allocated when a namespace is actively queried and released when it isn’t. You pay for what you use, not for a reserved cluster.

Multi-tenant by default

First-class tenancy. One namespace per tenant, isolated at the storage + compute + auth layers.

Managed bucket

The bucket and its lifecycle policies, regional placement, and encryption-at-rest keys are managed by the NamiDB team.

Zero-ops

No daemons to bump, no flush schedules to tune, no Docker images to chase. The team that wrote the engine runs it.

What’s the same as self-hosted

Same Cypher, byte-for-byte. Queries you tested locally work as-is.
Same SDK surface — Python, Rust, HTTP, CLI.
Same bucket layout — you can aws s3 sync to take your data home. No lock-in.

What’s different

Aspect	Self-hosted	NamiDB Cloud
Auth	Bearer token	API keys + IAM
Tenants	You provision namespaces	First-class, billed per namespace
Compute	You run `namidb-server`	NamiDB team runs it
Storage	Your bucket	Managed bucket (data exportable)
Region	Wherever your bucket is	Multi-region offerings
On-call	You	NamiDB team

How billing works (preview)

NamiDB Cloud’s pricing is per active namespace with a free tier for development. The metering dimensions:

Active namespace-hours (compute scale-to-zero metric)
Storage GB-months
Query CPU-seconds (above the included plan amount)
Egress GB (where applicable per region)

Closed-beta participants get full visibility into projected billing before public pricing lands.
