For $5 you can get an entire VPS from DO. You can also get similar services from Firebase for less. How is $5 for a service that offers a very very basic NoSQL API and simple Auth API cheap?
You have to provision and maintain your VPS. As far as I can tell, Deta isn't in the same line of business, they provide a managed infrastructure.
For sure you can already find cheap ways to host your systems. I still think that if you're a small team that want to compete in this domain you shouldn't try to compete on price, they are doom to fail if they go in that direction against already established businesses.
As someone who seem to match their target audience, I can say that $5/month is too cheap for me, that doesn't really inspire confidence. Of course that's just my opinion.

$0, $5 for the first two tiers? That sounds way too cheap.
