In my experience the Oracle Always Free ARM A1 instances are really good. There's nothing I've really struggled to run on it personally, but I've never opened anything up to the public.
However, as @ppp@lemmy.one said, Oracle tend to remove your instance without warning. You can mitigate this by "upgrading" to a paid account and adding your credit card info. As long as you stay within the free limits you'll never be charged - but of course it is a risk! And they might still pull the rug anyway...
I should upgrade my account then. My bank allows me to generate internet credit cards with a money limit, which I can just set to 0 B)
They'll make an initial reservation of around $100 on the card, so don't set the limit to 0 right away.
The $100 is never charged, of course but you need the balance.
damn, I don’t even have $100 right now lol
