Running NATS Cluster on DockHive
Smallest size
NATS Cluster needs at least a Small HivePod (about $4 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing. A Small pod needs more than the Free Tier's 1 vCPU, so use the Developer or Pro Plan.
Runs in the background
NATS Cluster has no web page of its own. It runs in the background in its HivePod, where you can open a terminal and read its logs.
Your data and backups
NATS Cluster's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
