Free-Tier Dependency Audit — Draft v0.1
Purpose
Document every vendor dependency that touches the troupe stack, whether it runs on free-tier credits or paid plans, and whether a free-only alternative exists.
Scope
- AI model providers (Nous Portal, OpenRouter, etc.)
- Cloud / hosting (Fly.io, Render, etc.)
- CI / build (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
- Communication (Telegram, Discord, email relay)
- Storage / DB (Supabase, SQLite, S3-compatible)
Audit Table
| Component | Current Plan | Monthly Cost | Free Alternative | Migration Effort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nous Portal | Free-tier | $0 | — | — |
| GitHub Actions | Free | $0 | — | — |
| Fly.io | Free | $0 | Render free / Oracle cloud | Low |
| Telegram Bot API | Free | $0 | — | — |
| Obsidian Sync | None (local) | $0 | — | — |
Standing Rules
- No paid vendor without written operator approval.
- Prefer local SQLite over hosted DBs.
- Prefer CLI tools over SaaS when functionality is equivalent.
- If a service adds a paywall mid-run, freeze and re-audit within 24 hours.
Maintenance
- Next audit: 2026-12-01
