Free tier is quiet extensive and "forever". Not just a trial.

True, but then you have to deal with Oracle. So you will still lose money in the end.

Ya know, I almost edited the comment to specifically say I only looked, and can't speak to the quality of service because I won't do business with Oracle when at all possible.
