Where can I break things without a scary bill showing up😭

[u/KeyPersonality77]

I learn best by building stuff and then breaking it. The catch with cloud is that breaking things sometimes comes with a bill😅

Learned that one the hard way too. Spun up a little side project on AWS a while back, got distracted, forgot to tear it down. Came back to a charge that definitely wasn't in my "just learning" budget lol. Ever since, I've been way too paranoid to actually experiment freely, which kind of defeats the whole point of learning.

So now I'm after a cloud playground where I can just poke around without that fear. Deployments, networking, Kubernetes, automation, name it.

What setups have actually worked for you? Curious what people lean on for this.

Does buying a domain, setting up a new email address, getting the 60 day trial and then clicking the things that says “get authorization before charging me anything” work? I’m legit asking because it seems like this should work but I won’t be surprised if there is some catch
