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:

In my case it is a Analytics server. So i dont mind losing the current data sometimes
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?

Yes, if they delete it you can start a new one with no problem. Also, they only seem to delete unused ones, though.

Whenever you have it set up properly, make a system for you to easily spin up an identical one. Terraform, ansible, etc.
