https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/install-run-discourse-for-free-in-the-oracle-cloud This blog post is from last year. I didn’t see any mention here; I think Oracle as a hosting company is off the radar for most people. So, before I posted I decided to try it myself to see if it’s really viable.…

one addition to the free Oracle tier - you can also select the new “Ampere” ARM instances, with up-to 4 cores and 12 GB of RAM in the free tier.
