alt Hacker News$50 bucks gets you an EIGHTH of a vCPU, 1GB RAM, and 10GB SSD??? This is quite frankly highway robbery. Not to mention the laughable bandwidth. Hetzner will give you 16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, and 640GB SSD for less than that. We're talking over an order of magnitude difference in value here.

On Hetzner you will be on the hook for managing the database though, and DBA is most certainly a full-time job if you have a serious use-case for it.

Apparently there are people who find this offering compelling. The lack of value is quite stunning to me.
You're not paying for the infra, you're paying for not having to hire people who would have had to build/manage/test/operate/secure it.
