Given the recent news about Heroku bringing an end to free dynos and PostgreSQL databases, what other free platforms can I use to host Django (Python) powered web applications for free.

The free-tier alternative to Heroku that I am using is Back4app Containers. I started using this platform when Heroku ended its free service and never looked back. It is not only about the free plan but running Docker files, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Node.js support also makes it a perfect PaaS solution for users.
Smooth UI and integration with GitHub repositories also make it a top-notch platform to run, deploy and host containerized applications. New developers can also utilize this CSP without having any particular skills.
Thanks for the shout-out @allobrox !
For those asking - yes Supabase is just Postgres, and you can connect directly using the pg connection string, so it works perfectly with all of your existing postgres tools and ORMs
+1 for Supabase
Koyeb is an alternative to Heroku for deploying Django web apps. You can deploy and 2 services with the monthly free credit.
You can sign up and start getting started here: app.koyeb.com/
Sounds interesting. I would look into it. Thanks a lot.
Supabase is indeed a fantastic choice! It provides a simple interface for working with Postgres database, and the free tier makes it an accessible option for developers of all skill levels ⚡️
can confirm Supabase is incredible.
It ticks all the boxes
There is also a python client library for use with Django (or you can connect to it the same way you would any other PostgreSQL db since it's just vanilla pg under the hood)
Thank you for letting me know this.
Supabase ftw

If you are looking for an alternative to Heroku Enterprise; then checkout Qovery which provides the Heroku-like experience on top of AWS.
Disclaimer: I am one of the Qovery co-founders.
No one has mentioned convox.com
PaaS that automates your K8s based deployments with zero downtime, and stays free forever (for up to 2 workflows).
Only upgrade to a paid plan (predictable cost unlike Heroku) once you gain confidence in the system
If you are looking to move out of Heroku for AWS - then Qovery is the best option out there with more than 200 hundreds companies that have moved out of Heroku for AWS with Qovery.
ps: I am co-founder of Qovery.
Kinsta is also a Heroku alternative, not free as the ones mentioned in the list but it comes with $20 free credit you can use to test the service.
deta.sh
qoddi.com is compatible with most of heroku buildpacks and our free tier includes 3 apps.
