Used "even" twice in the same sentence but instead should have elaborated more on what I mean with "not versed" with it at the end of the second last paragraph.

PoV from me: If you are versed enough to quickly provision your infrastructure within a single VPS (or what it takes you) you are already good enough and should get paid a developer salary that spending 50 bucks a month for a managed service won't kill you or 10 bucks if you are doing more of the work yourself (which is learning too! But not the goal of this).
- btown 7y agoThis isn't necessarily true for a lot of parts of the world. Talented developers benefit from live hosted apps to be able to stand out in the job market, but they may not make enough to host themselves. AWS and GCE should ideally make it easier for them to do `git push aws master`, but I imagine they've decided that the free tier should be for people who actually want to play with infrastructure (e.g. employees at large non-cloud orgs), and that people uninterested in that aren't worth them providing even the free tier for free. I don't think that's the right call, but it's not an inconsistent one.
