There’s a serious point here. Highly technical, bare bones infrastructure componentry like this isn’t actually free to use. It requires that the user have an extensive set of incredibly valuable skills that are very expensive to acquire. In fact I’d argue the skills needed to understand and effectively use a solution like this from scratch, including setting up and running a server, cost a heck of a lot more than $600. That’s aside from the opportunity cost of learning all that, and setting up and running a server.
