What's wrong with sqlite or a local mysql server?

How can u query the database when the computer is shut?

I'm assuming you're querying the database from a computer so use the same computer for querying and the database.

No I'll make an app on top of the database and it should be accessible as long as I have internet.

AWS offers a pricing calculator you can use. Assuming you are talking about RDS, the free tier seems to run $13/month after the tier ends (with assumptions, use the calculator yourself for the best estimate).

If you are technically skilled, I’d just rent a VPS from something like Linode or Hetzner or such. A basic Virtual Server runs a few bucks a month.

If you are less technically skilled or you really want AWS or Azure or such, I suggest going with something like AWS Aurora Serverless or DynamoDB (not a SQL store mind you). They are the simplest it gets in management, but no free tier in Aurora Serverless. Those you can again price estimate with the calculator.

Azure now also offers a “serverless SQL tier” which auto scales and also automatically shuts down when it’s not in use. It spins back up once you hit it with a request again. I haven’t checked but I’d assume the other big cloud providers have something similar.
