Hi, i am considering moving my project from aws to Oracle free forever server. (They offer 1 server for free forever). I know that they delete the server randomly sometimes. So we might sometimes lose all our data. Here is what i want to know, from those who have previously used Oracle Free Forever server:

  1. In my case it is a Analytics server. So i dont mind losing the current data sometimes
  2. It also have auto backup and stuff. Again dont mind if they randomly delete it

Can i manually re-create the server after they delete it? Also it will be free right? And like any other issues that i should be aware of? How often does this Random deletion of server happens?

    I’ve had one running for years at this point. I got a month notice they’d be retiring the hardware it was on and I needed to restart it from the dashboard to migrate it, or it would automatically happen after the month. I had another one at one point that I had stopped running something in and forgotten to delete. They decided to delete it because it was inactive, but that warned me in advance.
