Its good to know that there are so many alternatives to Heroku its going to limit the damage of having it go behind a paywall 😂
Thank you for the list
Kinsta is also an alternative, however not free as the ones mentioned in the list but it comes with $20 credit you can use to try the service risk free..
It says when one door closes another opens. I just learnt there were a lot of alternatives to heroku. Could heroku have had a better approach to this without taking away free-tier? I think instead of the free-tier, maybe users could have a limited free usage. Maybe 550MB storage free and when you exceed that you'd pay the extra.
i think they could have made the free tier only available using a credit card like aws or azure or gcp do and still maintain their fans
That Railway make sense,i will try it out thanks👍👍👍
I just joined Cyclic and I got a free $10 credit. It's awesome. Try it @Cyclic
Glad to see Netlify, CloudFlare, Deta and Render in this list; all very interesting hosting options for different purposes. I'm especially interested in seeing where Deta ends up in another year or two.
But one of the most complete for multiple purposes is missing, and that is Supabase:
I'm guessing Cyclic will be my next go to
Thank you Meshv for compiling this list, indeed a great one. 🚀
I would also like to mention Webiny as an alternative - it will also allow users to Embrace Serverless.
For a little over two years, we have been building Webiny. It's a Headless CMS you can use for your personal blog ... but it's not only a Headless CMS: it's a fully-featured application framework that you can use to scaffold unique applications that will have access to the existing setup we have built via plugins. More details on leveraging the power of serverless can be found here.
Thanks for your list..
I need something that runs my JVM, a Postgres instance and maybe later reddis
render.com/ seems the right choice?
ohh thanks for this post
You should 100% add Cycle to this list - it has a much higher ceiling than heroku, railway, rendr, etc... but maintains approachability for developers that are keen to stay focused on code.
Is possible to host a Strapi project on Netlify?
This link would be helpful..
Heroku... Heroku everywhere.
And Strapi + Digital Ocean link is not available.
Time to pay I guess. lol
qoddi.com is an alternative to Heroku and compatible with Heroku buildpacks.
