    Transitioning from a Free Tier Plan

    Capella allows only one free tier operational cluster per organization at any time.

    When you upgrade to a paid plan, Couchbase deletes your old free tier operational cluster.

    With your paid plan, you can choose to deploy another free tier operational cluster alongside your paid operational clusters.

    To back-up and transfer your data from the old free tier operational cluster to a new free tier or paid operational cluster, you must use the cbbackupmgr tool. For more information about using the cbbackupmgr tool, see Backup a Free Tier Capella Operational Cluster.

    Next Steps

    • If you need to purchase Couchbase Cloud Credits for your organization, contact Couchbase Sales.

      • If you chose to pay on-demand for credits, you can start using a cluster right away.

      • If you chose to pay up-front for credits, your credits must be deposited into your account before you can use a cluster.

    • If you still need to deploy a cluster, see Create A Paid Cluster.
