A while ago Brandon Burton tweeted the following:
It's pretty amazing what hosted free resources are available for helping develop open source software. What's a fun time to be writing code.

And I said someone should make a list. I looked around and could not find one so I decided I want to make such a list.
I am gathering links in a flat Markdown file at the moment but once I get an idea for the categories and kinds of links I’ll look at setting up a site with better UX than this big readme. If you have design chops for a site like this and want to help, get in touch.
Already I gathered quite a few and had some good links sent as PRs, if you have any links or if you work for a company who think they might fit the bill please send me links.
I am looking for links to services that provide free services especially to Open Source developers. Past that if they provide a developer account with some free resources – like a monitoring service that allows 5 free devices etc. I’d probably favour links good for infrastructure coders rather than say mobile app developers as there’s a huge list of those around.
I am not after services in Private Beta or Free During Beta or things like this, the only ones of those I’d accept are ones who specifically state that beta accounts will become free dev accounts or similar in future.
