My experience is that the free tier is pretty useless any way. If you want to just test something, then one micro instance is fine. But if you actually want to run a basic web app? One micro instance does not work.
The weird thing is that all the other services have decent, useful free tiers that give you enough resources for your beta phase at least. Why is EC2 so low? Maybe make it 750 hours total for any set of instances?
- AsymetricCom 13y agoYou can certainly run a basic app on a micro instance, unless it has to run in a JVM, maybe.
- rpedela 13y agoNot at reasonable performance or in high availability mode. Like I said it is fine for testing and that is about it.
- SkyMarshal 13y agoDepends on what you mean by "basic web app". For example, the Erlang-based CMS Zotonic runs beautifully on a T1.micro, even with PostgreSQL and an Nginx proxy on the same box.
