On client end, we use SQLite. We need to sync up the SQLite data to the server based database.
What open source (or) free version cloud based database available for a small database which is about 5 GB?

There are plenty of free open source database engines out there (MySql, Maria, Mongo, etc.). I do not know of anyone that offers a hosted database out there with that much space for free.

@Kentucker, thank you. I am looking for cloud hosted database. Around 2 GB is fine. I believe all SQL version databases are not free when it comes to cloud hosting.
Why do you need open source/free? If you are paying for hosting anyway then does it matter? Maybe look at something like easy table on Azure?

You can get AWS Free Tier for a year with RDS, which includes up to 20GB of db storage.

Azure has 30 days free trial time line. I have already used it.
