My girlfriend's first "Free Tier" hosting build was $5200 for ingesting a single document on Kendra. After nearly a month of working with the service team she was able to get the bill removed (even the service team did not know how to delete the app). Its insane that an overage charge on a "Free tier" service can be the price of a used car or multiple months of rent.

Well their free tier is a list of free amounts you can consume of various services. Azure and GCP require you to switch to a Pay as you go scheme if you want to spend money. But AWS from day one you can consume things that cost money.

They say you get 30 days of free usage but with a 5k a month cost, no way I'd risk it with my card. https://aws.amazon.com/kendra/pricing/
