Web hosting for broke devs (alien.top)

As a laid off web developer from a third world country, what is the cheapest solution for me to showcase my skills by hosting full stack websites.

What to do devs used to host following things on a budget

  1. Backend - docker + spring boot
  2. Frontend - NextJs
  3. Domain + DNS + SSL cert stuff 4)Database - amazon ddb or postgres 5)CI/CD
  4. Message broker - kafka?

My budget is 13 dollars per month.

Can it be achieved by using any tools for above things?

Willing to trade off between more difficulty in deployment and tooling for cheap setup.

- Digital Ocean has (had?) plans for $5USD a month

- Develop local and use ngrok + dynamic dns to demo when needed, even an RPI is good enough for a few docker containers

- free tier on AWS and other cloud providers, but be very very careful and use this as a last option since its so ridiculously easy to burn yourself
