I'd really like access to a tiny, almost free, sql database for personal projects.

The cheapest option here is $15 a month, and similar prices for other cloud managed dbs.

Heroku was nice and I guess is still a good option, but hard to make a usable site on their free tier because of start up time.

Then there's the interesting new option from Cloudflare, D1.

Currently I just run my personal project on AWS lambda + dynamodb. It's free, but using dynamodb for relational data is a little awkward.
