Add-on Plans

Plan slugs follow the format <service>:<plan>. Use them with watasu addons:create:

watasu addons:create postgresql:standard-0 --app my-app

The dashboard always shows the current price, available regions, and exact resource numbers per plan. This page is the slug reference and the rough shape of each tier.

PostgreSQL

Plan slug	Tier	Notes
`postgresql:hobby-0`	Hobby	Cheapest. Manual backups only. Good for prototypes and review apps.
`postgresql:hobby-1`	Hobby	A step up from `hobby-0` for slightly larger workloads.
`postgresql:standard-0`	Standard	Production tier with scheduled backups.
`postgresql:standard-1`	Standard	More storage and compute.
`postgresql:standard-2`	Standard
`postgresql:standard-3`	Standard
`postgresql:standard-4`	Standard
`postgresql:premium-1`	Premium	High availability with replication.
`postgresql:premium-2`	Premium
`postgresql:premium-3`	Premium
`postgresql:premium-4`	Premium	Largest tier.

Valkey

Plan slug	Tier	Notes
`valkey:hobby-0`	Hobby	Smallest, ephemeral.
`valkey:hobby-1`	Hobby
`valkey:hobby-2`	Hobby
`valkey:standard-0`	Standard	Persistent with manual backups.
`valkey:standard-1`	Standard
`valkey:standard-2`	Standard	Scheduled backups on supported plans.
`valkey:premium-0`	Premium	High availability.
`valkey:premium-1`	Premium
`valkey:premium-2`	Premium
`valkey:premium-3`	Premium

ClickHouse

Plan slug	Notes
`clickhouse` (default)	Use the dashboard for the current plan ladder.

ClickHouse plans differ on storage, compute, replication, and backup behavior. Pick deliberately based on dataset size and query concurrency.

Redpanda

Plan slug	Notes
`redpanda` (default)	See the dashboard for current tiers.

Plans differ on broker count, retention capacity, and throughput.

Object Storage

Plan slug	Notes
`object-storage` (default)	See the dashboard for storage and bandwidth tiers.

Observability

Plan slug	Notes
`logs`	Tiered by ingest rate and retention.
`metrics`	Tiered by active series count and retention.
`traces`	Tiered by ingest rate and retention.

The first time you attach any of these to an app, Watasu provisions Grafana automatically. See Observability Overview.

Picking a plan

A few rules of thumb:

review apps and prototypes → hobby tiers (postgresql:hobby-0, valkey:hobby-0)
staging → one tier below production
production → match the workload, not the price ladder. Run smaller, watch metrics, scale up if needed.

For the operational implications of plan choice (durability, backups, retention), see each add-on’s individual page.
