This is the reason I use Heroku and would never on a personal level use some of the bigger solutions, or apparently Fly.io. As an individual and despite being generally careful, I just cannot have a tiny risk of having a $100k+ accidental bill. I'd rather my project goes down if there's a DDOS attack, or if I made a typo and created an infinite loop. If I take some of my hobby projects to the "next level", it'd be def behind a LTD company.


Is it possible to rack up a 100k+ bill with personal projects on platforms like fly.io? Like some absolutely massive DDOS or something?


It could also be a simple user error- there’s been stories on HN on how people racked up massive bills for example because CI was running continuously etc.


Have you looked at render? Been using it for my hobby sites and am very happy with it.


I also really like render, very easy to use.
