It seems like render offers 1 free postgres database. Does that mean can I use another postgres that is on aws or some other host in free tier?
Hi there,
Render offers a free 90-day trial on our PostgreSQL services. You are always open to create databases on other services and connect to them from your Render services.
Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for your response. But when I connect rds/other database on localhost it just works fine. But when its on render.com it causes problem. In the logs I see running out of memory or http port not found. But when I use default sqlite db there seems no problem. I am using django app on free tier.
Hi there,
Apologies for the delayed response: I’ve been away on leave.
As localhost and a Render service are two completely different environments, it is not a surprise to hear that they may not immediately work the same. To that end, I strongly recommend reading through our Troubleshooting Deploys doc for tips about how to align your environments: https://docs.render.com/troubleshooting-deploys.
Beyond that, when trying to connect to a Render-hosted database from an external source, such as your local machine, ensure that you use the External Database URL that can be found in the “Connections” section of the database in the Render Dashboard.
