I like using NoSQL databases for side projects because they're cheaper to use. I can set up a Firestore database on Firebase and spend literally $0 while trying out a new project.However, the lack of more powerful queries and hardness to do data migrations gets a little bit annoying over time.So, I wonder if is there a NoSQL database out there which you can easily set up in the cloud, spend $0...
Also, I think Digital Ocean doesn't have a free tier. That's my other point: I can't find a reliable, fast way to try out new ideas spending literally $0 using something like Rails. That's pretty easy to do using JAMStack, though.
