Isn't Google's $300 credit only valid for 2 months?
Nope, 12 months: https://cloud.google.com/free/ In addition, the $300 is only for expenses in excess of the "Always Free" usage limits, which covers quite a bit of stuff, including 5 gigs of cloud storage, 1 micro compute engine instance, and a terabyte of BigQuery queries per month.

What advantages did you see comparing Cloudant to CouchDB?
With the release of CouchDB 2.0 there's not a lot of difference anymore, and much of what's new in that came from IBM's work on CouchDB. Right now Cloudant offers a full text search. You can build that into a CouchDB on your own too, but it's an add on. I've been meaning to take a crack at installing it on a Raspberry Pi I have CouchDB 2.0 running on but I've not done it yet. They might also have an enhanced version…
> If you wanted to work with really big data sets Cloudant would be a pretty good option because you can skip all the DB setup work and have instant access a highly scalable platform that lets you get to right to work.
I think one need to state it more clearly with cloudant you get a hosted solution SaaS, they will scale better then you, have better backups, and will be able to rebuild a view quickly, while you are deleting logs to rebuild it and struggling to get performance out of your vps.
There is the AWS free tier[0]. which means you can get free ec2 instances: > 750 hours per month of Linux, RHEL, or SLES t2.micro instance usage. (along with S3 and some other services) I think it's only free for a year though. Other than that, they have lumberyard[1] which is a game engine, but I think there are some weird terms like you need to use AWS if you use a server[2][3]. [0] https://aws.amazon.com/free/ [1]…

5GB of cloud storage, 1 free micro instance, 1TB of BigQuery queries etc.

Google offers $300 in credit that you can use on anything you like for one year as soon as you sign up right off the bat, and AWS has offered the Free Tier almost since inception. For startups, Google[1], Amazon[2], Microsoft BizSpark[3], OVH Digital Launch Pad[4], Digital Ocean[5], have startup programs that you can apply to with varying amounts of service credit (usually expiring afer one year).

I really want to apply to Google. But unfortunately, my startup doesn't qualify due to not being in an approved VC fund, Accelerator, or Incubator. Does anyone know of any program, that does not require me to give any equity? So that I may join and get the Google credits?
Google Cloud has a fairly generous lifetime free tier: https://cloud.google.com/free/ 5GB of cloud storage, 1 free micro instance, 1TB of BigQuery queries etc. You also get $300 credit for 12 months. Disclaimer: I work for Google.
If you want to try screenwriting, Story Writer by Amazon is an excellent free-to-use service. Basic, yes, but after a couple years using it I can assert it does the trick. Perfect for those wanting to 'give writing a script a try' without forking over for the industry standard Final Draft. https://storywriter.amazon.com/
The crowd here will likely prefer the open source fountain, which is a markdown style language that can be used with your favorite editor: https://fountain.io/ I'd recommend it to anyone -- even non-technical people -- it's a shame it wasn't what became the standard, but you can export to final draft format.

It absolutely used to be 2 months, otherwise, my account would still be able to use those 300$ credits. But I just checked, it can't. I still have the expiration email if you want.
