   @zachleat As someone who has never used AWS, am I reading correctly that their free tier is only available for a year, after which the same usage that previously fell under that threshold becomes paid?

                     @eQRoeil @zachleat Granular free tier mechanics?! I mean, far be it from me to complain about free stuff, but sheesh. They really don’t make it easy, do they?

   Move it to Cloudflare Workers. $5/m pro plan goes a long way.
