Intro
In Brief, Github Student Pack and big Cloud Providers.
In Detail, you can benefit from some Organizations that allows you to use Free Technologies. In this article, I will provide short but important list of things to gain goodies for yourself.
Github Student Pack
To my mind, it is the best thing a beginner developer can get. It provides tons of things, but I will write down the ones that are more advantageous:
Cloud opportunities you can get:
- Digital Ocean (1 year 200$)
- Azure
- Heroku (not enjoyable)
- netwise (1 year)
Domain Name opprtunities you can get:
- NameCheap ( 1 year .me)
- get.tech (1 year .tech) (not enjoyable)
- name.com (several options)
Go to the following page, and get access to these opprtunities. You will need to provide a document that verifies that you are a student and +- in a week it will be ready.
Other Cloud opportunities
Additionally you can benefit from such Cloud providers as Google (300$ credit) and Oracle Cloud (forever!). Cloudflare is my favorite one, it provides a Free Proxy, DNS Records Management for your domain, V8 WORKER EDGE INSTANCES and many more.

It was a short article, but it should be published somewhere. I did not wanted to describe all the features verbose, because I see here no need for it. Research the things interested you yourself :)
