we try to keep costs low by using free services and/or
building whatever we need ourselves, there are unavoidable
benefits from using the cloud (someone else's machine)

Making use of Azure DevOps & Azure Portal free tiers

<div class="collapse-content">
We make use of the free build minutes that Azure DevOps provides (1800 per
month). These build minutes are typically used for the back-end applications
as it is a more private build and deployment environment. We also make use
of Azure App Insights for back-end logs & analytics. The Azure App Insights
are not completely free because of the amount of traffic that our back-end
receives, but we do have cost limits set to 0, so it is mostly free.

We make use of Cloudflare to cache all of our static assets. In the

charged for the traffic of these assets.
