It would be neat if HN could offer something like "Login By Facebook" that returned user/create date/karma. Would make a nice testbed for offering free stuff while having some high pass filter like "HN account > 3 months old and has > 500 karma."
Anyone on here make use of the free tier of any of these? While I've known of some of the free tier things on AWS, and Google Cloud, I never made use of them long term.

Any framework would be interesting for learning purposes. I have some older MVC .NET sites and I poked around with Azure free Windows Server VMs, but the performance is so painfully bad; if you do anything, you run out of memory. But I'm gaining proficiency in NodeJS and Python, and hoping to learn how to take advantage of free tiers for practice in development and testing. I imagine it can all be self-taught/learned, but if there exists documentation to go through the motions in the learning process, I think it would help a lot of people.
Does anyone know of a decent tutorial for building low-volume / prototype interactive web applications using one of the major cloud-hosting providers, wholly within the free limits?

Conveniently we have a natural experiment from a year or two ago we can refer to.
Stellar Lumens offered some free cryptocurrency to existing users, via Keybase accounts that leveraged external auth-equivalence (such as HN). It backfired spectacularly for all involved. [2]

Please point it out if I've missed it, but any list like this, of information that is changeable, should really have a publicly posted date of when the information was last confirmed.
Commit history could be used to figure it out: https://github.com/ripienaar/free-for-dev
Tried it and it didn’t work? PR. Found a new one and it’s not on already? PR.
Also, it would be a really nice bonus if “date added” was generated from the git commit that added the resource.

Ah yes: the old "HN karma == developer" myth.
