Always Free Cloud Services

After hosting The Senior Journey session, sponsored by Oracle Cloud, I was so impressed with their always free tier package!

We can achieve so many things with that! From running simple experiments to publish small production level solutions! All for free!

That made me curious!

What other cloud providers free tier offers, such as in Amazon, Google and Microsoft?

I end up finding this GitHub repository collecting all these information for us 😀
