Is it possible?

Possible, yes. Oracle has a bad rep for deleting instances on their free tier though.
Edit to clarify: VM instances, not Lemmy instances specifically.
Oh yeah Oracle Cloud “Always-Free” aka the fastest way to lose all your data.

There are lots of people complaining about those situations.
If it’s just for you, try it out, no harm no foul. If you are planning on hosting for other people then it’s way too volatile, people will depend on your service to get access to Lemmy
I’m doing that. 4 core arm instance with 24GB ram. It’s on a paid account but using free tier.
