Building on a budget means knowing which tools actually have usable free plans versus ones that just dangle them as bait. free-for-dev is a maintained list of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS services offering legitimate free tiers—databases, hosting, CI/CD, monitoring, storage—curated for devops and infrastructure work. The value isn't in discovering something new; it's in having one place to check before you start hunting. For MVPs, hobby projects, and bootstrap teams, this cuts decision paralysis and money spent testing tools. The list stays current because the community maintains it. No sales pitches, no asterisks hiding in the fine print. Just 'here's what's actually free.'

I just bookmarked ripienaar/free-for-dev and it's already saved me two hours of tool research. It's a curated list of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS platforms with actual free tiers—not the "free forever until it isn't" marketing speak. Real offerings from AWS, GCP, Heroku, Stripe, and 200+ others. Why it matters: when you're bootstrapping or testing an MVP, tier-hunting across vendor sites is a tax on shipping. This repo does the legwork. → See DB hosting, CI/CD, monitoring, email, analytics, storage—each with tier limits spelled out → No benchmarks, no hype. Just what's free and what you get → Maintained by the community; gets updated as offerings shift If you're standing up a side project or cost-conscious infrastructure, this is the reference that pays for itself.
