The Workers free plan allows 1,000 KV writes a day, shared by everyone. The rate limiting binding let 82 percent of a burst through, WAF rate limiting rules on a free zone are stuck at a 10 second window, and neither can express a daily cap. A per address Durable Object can.
Six shorteners, side by side, on the things that decide a free link: whether you have to sign up, how many links you get, whether you can pick the ending, whether you can take one down afterwards, and whether anything is counted. Two of the six will not let you delete a link you made.
The Workers free plan gives each invocation 10 ms of CPU, and an isolate tolerates going over as long as you do not do it often. I changed a cron from every ten minutes to every minute and it died an hour later. Then the profiler disagreed with all three of my guesses.
Django 4.2 lost security support on 7 April 2026. On 4 August the security team patched four issues in 5.2 and 6.0 and nothing older, so the gap stopped being hypothetical. 5.2 LTS is the target, and the Python floor is where the time goes.
Schema-constrained decoding is real on all three providers now, and the parameter you reach for is different on each. What each one guarantees, and what it still cannot.
One architectural choice, read the DOM or look at a screenshot, explains the cost, the failure modes, and which of these three you should be running.
Strapi deletes every remaining free Cloud project on 1 September, and its cheapest paid tier still sleeps when idle and takes no backups. Payload Cloud stopped accepting new deployments after the Figma acquisition. What is left is a self-hosting decision wearing a comparison table.
The people this deadline catches are not Debian admins. They run python:3.9-slim and have never once thought about what is underneath it. Nine days to find out.
Algolia counts requests and records, Typesense counts RAM-hours, Meilisearch will count either, and Elastic switched to VCU-hours. Off the published rates, a $129.60 Typesense box equals Algolia at 269,000 searches a month.
Bruno's free tier cannot use a private Git repository, which is the entire point of Bruno. Insomnia's free Git Sync stops at three users. Hoppscotch withholds the least and runs in a browser. What each one costs once the free tier stops fitting.
