Bad design if that isn't in place for a new free-tier experiment.

This is the problem right here. I moved from AWS and specifically Beanstalk because I don't want to be some "certified AWS goblin". I just wanted to host something sensibly.

Other hosting companies don't have this problem and while I cannot complain about AWS as a service, this can be improved if there would be the will to do so. I believe there are other incentives at work here and that isn't a service to the customer.

There is no such thing as a “free tier” in AWS. At least there wasn’t until July of this year where you get a $200 credit and everything is blocked until you upgrade.

There were free services up to a certain usage limit in a month.
