It would be helpful to provide some platform names and a short description, as there are many different concepts available.

I like to promote flems.io, which is a very special online service for developers. flems does not require any registrations, as all code is strored in the URL (which may be pretty large). You can use flems as a playground and try out your code freely. This is from the description:

Flems supports TypeScript, LiveScript and Babel (standalone) compilation too. You can add CSS & JS dependencies by specifying a full URL pointing to the desired file, or by giving a reference to an NPM package (and optional path) - these will be taken from unpkg.com.

So, flems is a versityle platform that can be used for code demonstations. As all code ist stored in the link, they do not need any own storage.
