🚀 Announcing the public beta of Mathesar Cloud

[kgodey]

We're excited to announce that Mathesar Cloud is now in early public beta.

Why we're launching Mathesar Cloud

Until now, using Mathesar meant installing and running it yourself. Now you can use Mathesar for free without having to maintain your own infrastructure. This is our first step toward offering Mathesar as a hosted service for a wide range of users, from solo hobbyists to larger organizations and enterprises.

Mathesar Cloud is run by the Mathesar maintainers through the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that already maintains the open source project. We’re committed to ALWAYS keeping Mathesar 100% open source (no open core), nonprofit, and treat self-hosting as a first-class citizen. We’re launching a hosted service in part to sustain the project in the long term while keeping our principles. We’re also excited to be making Mathesar accessible to users who cannot or do not want to self-host.

What's available now and where we're heading

Currently, we have a free plan that’s great for solo projects, prototyping, and evaluating Mathesar for larger deployments. It’s scoped to a single database per user.

We are using this early beta to learn what people need, as we work on launching more plans with feature parity with self-hosted Mathesar, including collaboration, control over Postgres roles and permissions, and connecting existing databases.

We would love for you to try it out and give us your feedback! You can respond here or email us at hello@mathesar.cloud.
