Possible, yes. Oracle has a bad rep for deleting instances on their free tier though.
Edit to clarify: VM instances, not Lemmy instances specifically.
Oh yeah Oracle Cloud "Always-Free" aka the fastest way to lose all your data.

There are lots of people complaining about those situations.
Doesn’t seem like too big of an issue. If you use object storage for images and take backups of the database you could redeploy rather easily if it gets euthanized by Oracle.
A docker config or ansible setup should make this pretty easy.
I've had mine for almost 2 yrs now with no problems I have a card on file but am still on free tier haven't even upgraded to pay as you go
...yet™.
I'm glad it's working for you, though. No sarcasm, my skepticism is directed at Oracle
