Awesome true freemium serverless clouds

What is the need for serverside code execution?

Nowadays JAMstack is getting popular. We can do almost all the application features in the browser application itself. JAMstack is a buzzword to represent browser applications that don't require a server to work. The application can be served from a CDN that stores application code in the form of static files. 

But there are many scenarios where we need to have some sort of interaction with a central location to access data or receive push notifications etc.

Serverless functions / FaaS

In such scenarios, Serverless functions can help us. Serverless functions or FaaS(Functions as a Service) is a cloud model where we can just host a function code without getting worried about servers and related configuration. Mostly pay per usage than a fixed monthly bill.

Freemium serverless functions

If we work for an enterprise or commercial application, we don't mainly care about free tiers. But if we are doing our personal projects we may research for any free service.

Fortunately, there are a lot of free options to run server-side code. Major cloud providers have free tiers but the problem is that we need to give them a credit card. The problem with the credit card is that we may get charged, in case of an attack such as DDoS is targeted to our function endpoint.

True freemium services

Firebase was my default choice as a true freemium serverless function provider. But recently they changed their model. They now require a credit card to avail of the freemium tier. 

This change caused the below GitHub project

The above link tries to aggregate all the true freemium service providers. Currently, it has only 3.
