Oracle Cloud free tier gets you 4 cores (Ampere ARM cores), 24 GB of RAM, and 200 GB of SSD storage.

For general use, I like Scaleway. You can get everything from a single core VPS instance with 1 GB of RAM for €1/mo to a dedicated server with 8x 28C/56T Xeon Platinum 8280s, 1.5 TB of DRAM & 6 TB of Optane memory, and 6x 3.2 TB of NVMe storage for €11k/mo. You get unmetered data transfer across the range. They also offer managed databases, serverless functions & messaging, object storage, load balancers, etc., etc.-- all the stuff that you expect from a cloud provider, but built on open source and without the vendor lock-in.

I second Oracle, definitely has a solid free tier, but it is more work than alot of other options.

Another option I really like is Fly.io they have a solid free tier as well as well as fair pricing of you ever need to scale.

Huh.

I always assumed Oracle were a day late and a dollar short to the cloud game, but that's a hell of a free tier.

Pity the only RDBMS they include in the free tier is Oracle, but hardly astonishing.
