Cloudinary for image database

Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on using Cloudinary as a primary image database and storing the image links as a field in my sql database? I wanted to create a website just for fun and don’t want to pay for an s3 bucket. Cloudinary has a free tier which I could take advantage of and was wondering if that would be my best option. https://cloudinary.com

S3 buckets will cost you pennies. Literally less than a dollar. But yes you can use cloudinary You can also store images in your git repo directly if it’s only a few images
