  "price": "Free sandbox: 2 services, 1 database, 2 cron jobs, always-on with no sleeping. Pay-as-you-go from $0/mo: $0.01667 per vCPU-hour, $0.00833 per GB RAM-hour, egress $0.06/GB (ingress free), SSD $0.15/GB-month. No per-seat pricing on any tier.",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "Container and microservice platform that builds from Git or a Dockerfile, with managed Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, GPUs, job runners and preview environments. The free sandbox runs two always-on services that never spin down, and teams are included free — nothing is charged per seat.",
  "why": "A free tier that stays warm, so a hobby API answers instantly, plus per-second compute pricing that stays sane as you scale. Bring-your-own-cloud keeps the same UI while running inside your own AWS or GCP account.",
  "warn": "Egress at $0.06/GB is pricier than Fly or DigitalOcean, so front static assets with Cloudflare or Bunny. The free sandbox has fixed small resources and is not intended for production traffic; GPU instances bill from $0.80 per hour and add up fast.",
  "install": "Connect the repo in the dashboard, or use the Northflank CLI/API",
