## Problem

Currently there's no way for users to request access to private alpha
for Multigres.

## Solution

Add a link to the form to fillout for customers to get access.

<Admonition type="caution">
Multigres is in [Private Alpha](/docs/guides/getting-started/features#feature-status). It's free during the Alpha for organizations on a paid plan, for up to two projects, but pricing may change once it leaves Alpha. It isn't covered by the [uptime SLA](/sla), and Supabase isn't targeting production or mission-critical workloads with it during this stage.
</Admonition>
Multigres gives your project high availability by running Postgres across multiple nodes instead of one, so reads and writes continue if a node fails. It is Supabase's integration of [Multigres](https://multigres.com), an open-source project that brings the same distributed-systems approach Vitess brought to MySQL to Postgres.

## Requesting access
To request access to the Multigres Private Alpha, [fill out the early access form](https://supabase.com/go/multigres-early-access#form).
During the Private Alpha:
- Multigres is available to organizations on a paid plan. It isn't available on the Free plan.
- Up to two projects per organization can use Multigres for free during the Alpha.
## Enabling Multigres
In the Dashboard, Multigres appears as **High availability** during project creation:
1. Open [Create a new project](/dashboard/new/_) in the Dashboard.
2. Under **High availability**, turn on **Enable high availability**.
3. Finish the remaining fields such as database password, region, and compute size, if shown.
4. Click **Create new project**.
If you don't see **High availability**, your organization doesn't have access yet. See [Requesting access](#requesting-access).
## What's not included in the alpha
Some Supabase features and project operations aren't yet available on Multigres-backed projects:
- **Realtime.** Multigres doesn't yet support the logical replication that Realtime depends on, so Realtime is unavailable.
- **Point-in-Time Recovery.** Only the standard daily backups are available.
- **Cross-region read replicas.** Multigres projects run in a single region during the Alpha.
- **OrioleDB.** A project can use Multigres or [OrioleDB](/docs/guides/database/orioledb), not both.
- **Resizing after creation.** Compute size, disk, and the number of replicas can't be changed after a Multigres project is created.
- **Sharding and custom durability policies.** These are on the longer-term roadmap but aren't part of the Alpha.
<Admonition type="caution">
Enabling Multigres migrates your project's database to run on Multigres. There's currently no managed path to move it back to a standard Postgres project.
</Admonition>
## Compatibility
Multigres aims for full compatibility with standard Postgres, but there are some differences to be aware of. See [Multigres compatibility](/docs/guides/database/multigres/compatibility) for details.
