Free tier can be great option.

You might even be able to do everything within the context of a serverless backend, writing just a thin layer.

Elaborate?

I meant that if the only thing you require is to call an API and get back the result you might not need to build an entire server side application, it might be enough to call a serverless function and let it do it for you.

For example, in this post @didil explains how you might go about writing an API to resize images. In his case he's using a Go library that processes the image but if he wanted (just for our sake) to call Cloudinary's service instead, he would call that, leaving Cloudinary's keys on the server.

Zero servers manually configured.
