Serverless SQLite
SQLite databases that run alongside Cloudflare Workers on the free Workers plan.

The catch: Only one day of point-in-time restore on the free plan.

Serverless Redis you call over HTTP, priced per request.
The catch: 500K commands a month runs out fast if you poll or cache every request.

The catch: 512 MB fills quickly, and there is a 100 ops/sec cap.

Serverless Postgres with branching that scales to zero when unused.
The catch: Only 1 GB of storage per project.
