 ## Prisma Postgres is ready for production 🎉
 
 Prisma Postgres is built on a unique technology stack, based on unikernels and Cloudflare infrastructure. Here are the main features and benefits this enables:
 
 - **Zero cold starts**: Instant access to your database without delays.
-- **Generous free tier**: 100k operations, 1GiB storage per month & 10 databases.
+- **Generous free tier**: 100k operations, 500 MB storage per month & 50 databases.
 - **Global caching layer**: Query responses are easily cached at the edge.
 - **Built-in connection pool**: Scale your app without worrying about TCP connections.
-- **Performance tips**: AI-powered recommendations for speeding up your queries.
-- **Simple pay-as-you-go pricing**: Predictable costs based on operations & storage.
+- **Query Insights**: Understand slow queries with AI-generated analysis and suggested fixes.
+- **Simple usage-based pricing**: Predictable costs based on operations & storage.

 Prisma Postgres is the [first serverless database without cold starts](https://www.prisma.io/blog/announcing-prisma-postgres-early-access#why-are-there-no-cold-starts-with-prisma-postgres) thanks to its innovative architecture and milli-second cloud stack running on bare metal machines. 
 
-### For free: 100k operations, 1GiB storage & 10 databases
+### For free: 100k operations, 500 MB storage & 50 databases
 
 Experimenting with a new technology, building prototypes, or working on hobby projects shouldn't cost you any money! Prisma Postgres provides a generous free tier that lets you kick off any project without worrying about costs.
 
 This is possible because Prisma Postgres is [based on unikernels](https://www.prisma.io/blog/announcing-prisma-postgres-early-access) (_think_: "hyper-specialized operating systems") running as ultra-lightweight microVMs. These unikernels are extremely efficient and allow to run thousands of database instances on a single machine.

-As a user, this means you can create an up to ten databases per workspace for free to play around and build small projects with. You also get 100k operations and 1GiB storage that you can use to hack around without worrying about cost.

 ### Simple & predictable: Pricing anyone can understand
 
-[Pricing](https://www.prisma.io/pricing?utm_campaign=ppg-ga&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=ga-announcement) for Prisma Postgres is different than for other database providers. Unlike traditional pricing models, it charges for **number of database operations** and **GiB storage**, _not_ for upfront resource allocation, compute hours or egress.

It charges for **number of database operations** and **GiB storage** rather than upfront resource allocation, compute hours, or egress. Paid plans start at $10 per month with 1M operations, 10 GB storage, and 1,000 databases included.
 
 > An **operation** is counted each time you do a create, read, update or delete with Prisma ORM against your Prisma Postgres instance.

 Our goal is to make pricing substantially more simple than other providers. This pricing model lets you predict your usage and reason about cost more easily based on the _actual_ traffic your application will see. With traditional pricing, the burden of scaling is on you: If you have low-traffic periods, and high-traffic periods (like most production apps) then you either under-provision and risk having downtime in busy periods, or you over-provision and pay a lot more for your database.
 
 With Prisma Postgres' usage-based pricing, you truly pay only for what you need!
 
 ### Serve data from a global cache close to your users
 
-One major benefit of Prisma Postgres is that you can configure database caching on a _per-query_ level. Database results are then cached at the edge and will be served to your application from a close, physical location. 
+One major benefit of Prisma Postgres is that you can configure database caching on a _per-query_ level. Database results are then cached at the edge and will be served to your application from a close, physical location. Caching is enabled by extending Prisma Client with the [`@prisma/extension-accelerate`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@prisma/extension-accelerate) extension.
 
 Here's how easy it is to configure a cache strategy, just add the `cacheStrategy` option with `ttl` and/or `swr` options:
 
 ```ts
-const users = await prisma.post.findMany({
+const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
   where: { published: true },
   cacheStrategy: {
     ttl: 60,
     swr: 30,
   }
 })
 ```
-The `ttl` ([Time-To-Live](https://www.prisma.io/docs/accelerate/caching#time-to-live-ttl)) and `swr` ([Stale-While-Revalidate](https://www.prisma.io/docs/accelerate/caching#stale-while-revalidate-swr)) options indicate to Prisma Postgres how long the currently cached data should be considered _fresh_ and whether an update of the cache should happen in the background. Prisma Postgres' cache also supports advanced use cases like [on-demand cache invalidation](https://www.prisma.io/docs/accelerate/caching#on-demand-cache-invalidation).
