Ask HN: How to get free AWS, Azure, GCP credits?

4 pointssmattiso6y ago5 comments

I have a startup working on a new platform/marketplace that, if successful, could grow to a very heavy traffic site. I have contacts within AMZN, MSFT, etc. but they are all developers and likely don't know anything about getting free startup credits. What's the best path forward to this?

For AWS if you're unfunded (bootstrapped) you can apply directly on https://aws.amazon.com/activate/

In the past I got some via a coworking space, which for some reason counted as accelerator, I think because they had mentors and training sessions. And years later via a startup conference.

Here's a list of software (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc.) and other offerings that have free tiers for developers and startups: https://free-for.dev

If I wanted to learn Azure, is there a free program where I can get limited credits while I learn?
