So you are building something on the side and don't want to burn through your hard earned euros. You'd like to spend close to nothing on infrastructure until you have proof anyone wants what you are making. How close to zero can you actually get on a 100% EU infrastructure stack?
A note on "free"
We only list providers that, at the time of writing this post, offer a permanent* free tier, not just a 14-day trial.
*Obviously, terms and conditions may change, free plans may be deprecated at some point.
Hosting: not free, but cheap
No serious EU cloud provider gives away permanent free compute. What you get instead is very cheap compute.
Hetzner Cloud's CX33 server configuration is the sweet spot at around €7 a month for 4 vCPUs, 8 GB of RAM, and 80 GB of disk. That is enough to run a Django or Rails app with a Postgres database, Redis for caching, background workers - with plenty of headroom. If your idea finds traction, you scale up vertically for a long time before you have to think harder about it. For your average boring CRUD-style app, this server configuration could even be considered overkill.
Netcup is the runner-up with similarly cheap VPS plans starting under €5 a month. Slightly less polished console, but the price-performance is excellent and they have been around since 2003.
Transactional email
Password resets, magic links, receipts, the email confirming an order. Every app needs to send this kind of email, and three EU providers have genuinely usable free tiers.
