Also, if you want to set up an agent for a hobby project in a low-cost way:
- All cloud providers offer a free tier and with AWS you get it for 12 months. You could e.g. use it to run a small EC2 instance with a local or docker agent entirely for free.
- One community user used replit.com for a hobby project hosting ECS agent.
- This blog post shows how to set up an agent on ECS, and ECS costs are rather low because you pay for only one container running your agent 24/7 rather than for an entire instance, and as long as you are on a free tier, this should cost you nothing.
