ripienaar/free-for-dev ↗Most SaaS platforms advertise "free tiers" that expire or hide behind paywalls. This GitHub repo curates the ones that actually stay free—hosting (Heroku alternatives, edge functions), databases (PostgreSQL, Redis), monitoring (error tracking, uptime), and DevOps tools. It's maintained by the community, so outdated entries get flagged. For solopreneurs and bootstrapped teams, it's a working blueprint: you can spin infrastructure without hitting billing surprises. Search by category, check current limits, ship. Saves hours of "does this actually have a free tier?" research.
