Hey everyone, I'm building a personal website using Next.js and I'm thinking about managing my content with a database instead of relying on a .js file that exports an array of objects. The site will feature a links page similar to Linktree, showcase my projects, and list various languages and technologies I know. I want a secure admin area (which I already have a login for) where I can easily add, delete, or edit my projects. Can anyone recommend a suitable database for my needs and, if possible, direct me to some helpful tutorials to learn how to work with it?

If you're not sure where to begin, I suggest starting with PostgreSQL. It's an industry standard database with all the features you might need, plus it can really boost your employability in the tech field.
Is there any good free hosting for PostgreSQL? I've only worked with JSON files since they're free to host.
