How I saved $800 a year moving from DigitalOcean to Oracle Free Tier

Migrating from DigitalOcean to Oracle Use case My use-case was relatively simple. We needed an application to track supply chain demands over time. The reason was that the company I was working with were still using hand-written notes and sending these notes to vendors who would then transcribe it and send assets over. All of this took a lot of overhead and time; furthermore, it was very easy to forget what kind of assets were already purchased since there was no searchable history. The tech stack built to approach this problem was a front-end built in react and hosted statically. The backend was a simple Django application, simply wrapping around my DB and simply hosting the API / backend.

However, we find something interesting when we run Gobuster on one directory lower (on the /static directory). So we go to `/00` and find that it has a note: so we navigate to the directory /dev1243224123123  and find a login page and viewing the source page, we see the login username and password in the dev.js script! Logging in, it says that the credentials are re-used with FTP. So we take the same credentials and use it for FTP: and we transfer those files to our computer for further analysis. W
