A lot of us dont trust them. They want credit cards and justifications and an approval process that seems like it is one of their con-fusion Enterprise apps. It's a hit or a miss especially if you want a machine in a geography that's not in the same region as your CC.

They don’t ask you for credit card details for their Free Tier version. I know because I’ve had that for over a year now.

In fact, their free tier is designed such that you only use free services. If you want to use their paid tier, you need to explicitly upgrade. I like that because that means I’ll never run into any unexpected charges.

Ah yes, Oracle is definitely the kind of company that will honor a promise like that. /s

Also up to 4 ARM instances, with 4 cores and 24GB(!) of RAM to split between them.

Damn, this sounds too good to be true.

I'm already abusing (not really of course, I'm within limits) of my Heroku free tier and I had something running on Openshift until they removed the free tier.

It is true, I've been using them for one and a half years now and only one time I got an email that my instance had a few minutes of downtime due to an HW failure.

I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

"Small" is relative; you've got credits that allow you to have 4 cores and 24GB mem if you don't mind running on ARM.
