For a hobby project, you can probably use whatever is running the rest of your project. Sqlite in particular is lightweight.

If you need hosting, I've heard good things about Digital Ocean, Vultr, and Linode. You'd have to install the database yourself though.

I don't know a free service but you can run Azure SQL for less than $5 a month.

If you sign up for a 'Developer Program Benefit' in Microsoft, you'll get $25 every month for Azure.

Heroku Postgres has a free plan (10k rows): https://www.heroku.com/postgres
Depends on the hobby. You can run one on your desktop, or if you are using a web host they most likely include database as part of the plan.
