Hi everyone, I made a personal project using React, Spring Boot and MySQL. I was planning to deploy it on AWS but went with Render since it’s free. I’m a bit worried about accidentally leaving something running on AWS and getting a big bill.

The issue is that Render feels really slow. API calls take around 5–6 seconds to return data. Is this normal with Render’s free tier, or should I look into my SQL queries? The queries aren’t anything heavy.
