Have you heard of cyclic.sh though it's limited to just one app

Add MDB GO to the list

OCI A1 Flex Ampere are powerful yet free until very big limit. I created automation to raise them and host backend on them:

@bmaupin remove Railway it's now fully paid

can I know why firebase is not here

firebase is free for hosting node backend server?
I just tried on my end but faced this error.

Error: Your project "backend" must be on the Blaze (pay-as-you-go) plan to complete this command. Required API artifactregistry.googleapis.com can't be enabled until the upgrade is complete. To upgrade, visit the following URL:

It seems to be that I have to pay for the hosting.

Sorry If it did not work.
I used firebase for my for my flutter app. I did not know this list was for web hosting.

Hosting Front End with React is working well free.
But node express backend require the pay version.
:)

And we can use https://app.cyclic.sh/#/ for hosting the backend free.
One app is free.

Adaptable.io only supports Nodejs and Python apps. No Golang.

are redhat sandbox dont allow sudo/root? deploy failed because no privileged

But I uploaded a script of my own that creates a hecking server (look at the specs!) on Oracle’s cloud for totally free for whatever purpose you need. It’s in the comments. Y is it not included?Machine. Unix, Ubuntu.

Where would you put Appwrite ?

Heroku discontinued

https://cloud.candle.dev

offers up to 1gb persistent storage, 256mb ram and shared compute for free. Need to deploy using using Wick framework (https://github.com/candlecorp/wick)

For MERN apps, Render is a fine choice if using MongoDB Atlas. You can get around the 15 min idling by scheduling a cron-job every 5 min. 750 hour limit is quite generous as app can run whole month!

Back4app has a new CaaS (basically PaaS for docker deployment, or idk exactly it is but it can deploy a repository based on Dockerfile) with 256MB RAM, 100GB monthly transfer, and 600 active hours for free. Not exactly better than Render, but if you want an alternative for Render or Render wants you to input your credit card in your region, this is a good one.

I maintain it, please feel free to try one of these options and add comments if you need help.

I think you can not deploy anything on adaptable.io now without adding the payment method.
