Here's a great Github repo I was shown recently that could help you.
There's a webhosting section that gives some great options as replacements.

Thanks! I need to spend some time on this! Quite some stuff 🥳
Good share, thank you
Thanks for sharing this amazing info i really appreciate
thanks for puting all this together.
This wasn't me, I was told about it
Microtica offers a Heroku-like platform experience to deploy your apps securely on the cloud. You can use our Freemium plan to get started and then move to your own AWS account when ready (prices start at $19/month). Check out the platform at app.microtica.com and contact me to get help with free AWS credits.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing:)
Cool. Thanks for this link.
Give Adaptable.io a try. It's easier to use than Heroku and the free tier includes your database (Postgres or MongoDB).
Never heard of it! Thanks for sharing! I’ll give it a try!
hey, Lorenzo!
3 years ago, I started working on a Heroku alternative.
A Heroku alternative deployment service that uses your cloud server from any provider to run your apps.
appliku.com/
The primary focus is on Python/Django but also runs node apps.
I posted the story here a while ago: dev.to/kostjapalovic/tired-of-depl....
I knew about the inactivating of accounts, but i guess i missed that part about free dyno time. That free dyno time was perfect for quick staging of applications for testing. Not to mention a great place for Rubyists.
I mean pay as you go im sure will still be around, but thats still ops maintenance to remember to cycle up/down. /rollEyes
Yep. "But just go to [insert platform here] it starts as low as 99$ for a chunk of time and data that will be sure to change every 2 months" ...(there is no emoji committing suicide but imagine him here)
Ahahah nailed it!
Hey Lorenzo, have you checked fly.io? I didn't see it listed below and the free tier is enough for a single Heroku app with it's database.
Their approach is focused on deploying your code on multiple locations to process requests closest to your users, but just deploying a single server like DigitalOcean+Dokku works just fine.
I migrated some of my old projects over there and I like it a lot. I hope it helps!
Thanks! I didn’t know about it! I’ll check it out 😊
Keyword "students".
When I just started learning back-end development, Heroku was the first PaaS I encountered. I was excited it was free and I could try it out immediately along with the tutorial I was watching.
It was great while it lasted.
qoddi.com is compatible with most of Heroku's buildpacks. We wrote a guide to help with the migration: dev.to/qoddiapps/migration-guide-h...
eu.pythonanywhere.com/pricing/ is the good option for the python web apps. Its backed by Anaconda
Glitch has got to be one of the best options.
i think Railway might be good alternative to Heroku
qoddi.com is here to help if you need us :)
Yea, just take your Git Repo which you deployed to Heroku and throw it to mogenius. Same thing, faster build pipelines, easier to maintain. ^^
See you on Discord :)
Sad to see this happen
thanks for your information is helpful because it happened to me
What kind of bots do you have there 😂😂😂
There are a few quite good heroku alternatives.
For self hosted options
In my own experience, I used heroku before, even applied a paid dyno when I was a student,
caprover
later I switched to caprover, which I realised for most of small individual, low-traffic apps, it is much cheaper to use one single AWS Cheap EC2 instance.
switch to k8s
After that, credits oracle cloud free tier, I built a free k8s cluster on Oracle cloud, it is basically one time for all, the hard part is basically the initialising part, after initialising, it is quite easy for app deployment and management. simply do
kubectl apply -f infra-deploy.yamlI made an article to talk about dokku, caprover and self host alternatives.

How to Set Up Your Own Heroku-like Cloud (PAAS) in 10 Minutes
When building new projects, it’s usually annoying to repeatedly set up stuff like web servers, databases, etc. It’s often expensive or tedious to set up and manage. That’s where open-source PAASs came in. They are free and often have an easy to use app/database deployment & web server manager.

Thanks I’ll check it out 👍
GG heroku.
Pouring out a little drink for Heroku.
Here are a few alternatives to Heroku: herokualternatives.com/
Thanks for listing these! I would need to check some of them though. I think they often offer one of the services rather than the whole bundle.
AWS is great but each service is almost something on its own. Never tried Elastic Beanstalk
Yes, I know another platform. And that other platform is railway
Render, fly.io...
Netlify too unfortunately is turning paid for closed source projects
Does anyone know where I can host my php website for free?
I've started using render as an alternative to heroku and I found it too helpful and good for Seniors and Beginners .
I’ve done some research to find alternatives to Heroku, and created an article based on that. If anyone interested: dmnk.hashnode.dev/free-heroku-alte...
any other platform where we can deploy an api for free? 🤔
render.com/ it is pretty good
