I want to improve my programming skills but I dont want to waste money on google cloud [closed]

This year, I have finished multi-platform application development and I want to do research on web development with google cloud applications (mongo, nodejs, angular, etc), but I don't want to waste money.

Are there solutions to develop and deploy free or cheap applications? Like XAMPP, docker or others.

I would also like to know what books you recommend for web development, servers, microservices... I'm very lost ><
