Why this sizing

This Extra Small tier supports Neo4j Enterprise with up to 100 GB of graph data on a three-primary cluster. The primary cost driver is the compute instances, specifically three n2-standard-4 machines, which account for the entire $0.08 monthly cost. This configuration prioritizes a minimal footprint for small datasets, trading off high availability for cost efficiency by disabling it.
