## Overview

free-for.dev is a curated catalog of as-a-Service offerings with free developer tiers, especially services useful to infrastructure developers. The primary workflow is to browse the catalog by capability, assess a service’s free-tier terms, and choose relevant offerings; contributors can propose additions or removals through pull requests, which are reviewed. The README documents many categories and eligibility criteria. No source excerpts were provided, so the graph describes documented catalog organization and contribution flow, not page-rendering or implementation details.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/serjiii-cryptomaniac/free-for-dev/blob/master/README.md) (Free-tier catalog)
