Hesitate to tell that Fly is the only good option since they won't hibernate your instances, and have a reasonable free db and bandwidth quota .. unlike Render (almost not count as free plan, more like some free trial)

I'm fearing folks could abuse Fly and they could start to let it go..

Why Fly over DigitalOcean or similar? Is it just that it's all done for you?

Fly takes your credit card info up front so if you abuse it they can just charge you. Also people who give their credit card upfront are less likely to abuse their plans.
