Fly.io: Free Plan

• You can host three apps for free before you need to start paying.
• Requires a credit card.
• Fly.io waives monthly invoices that total less than $5 USD. So, although it may look like you are being charged, it’s very unlikely that you will exceed $5 and actually have to pay.

The Fly.io free plan has been sunset as the "Legacy Hobby Plan" and replaced with the "Hobby Plan" which gives a free $5 credit once to start and and no longer offers a monthly $5 credit, similar to other "free plan" offerings from other PaaS.

Thanks for opening this issue @DevlinRocha
Honestly, when Fly.io switched to their current pricing plans, things really weren't clear and I remember the support forums full of questions, as well as team members "clarifying" and somehow making the situation more confusing.

Looks like their docs have actually been updated with the current system with more clarity! So now, similar to Railway, new accounts are given a one-time $5 grant that will only start being used up for usage that exceeds the free allowance. Once the credit is gone, you'll be put onto the standard $5/mo plan.
Nice and simple (but unfortunate that it's more restricted than before...)

You will need to make the same change to both the deployment lesson file for the nodejs pathway, and for the deployment lesson file for the rails pathway, as they use separate files for the same lesson.
