I have a small web server that I would like to host for free (because I wont be making any money off of it, its a coding project for the resume) and I tried hosting on oracle cloud but realized that although they claim we can get 4 OCPU on arm and 24 gb of ram, I tried provisioning a machine but I was constantly met with “no available resources”.

This is why I must make the switch to other services that might offer less resources but could offer more reliability. I was wondering whether aws or any other “always free” hosting service might be better in terms of actually provisioning a machine and having it work reliably.

The thing with AWS though, is that I will probably need a dedicated db service because the allotted memory and storage is probably not enough for my spring boot server, so if anyone has experience with always free instances on aws db service as well be sure to let me know!
