This is the big issue. There is always tension in these “free” setups.

I get more worried when the giveaways / marketing is VC funded - they often end at some point or pressure inside to dial back etc.

“We have free egress to Oceania!” - no, you don’t. You are subsidizing that.

Given what aws charges and how they charge for almost everything- no reason to be any pressure to move me to another plan. AWS free tiers are relatively minuscule
