Render is a great alternative for deploying backend apps for free. I have written an article which explains how to deploy Node.js application for free.

This post is epic, but I noticed you skipped Back4app Containers. It is a newly released CaaS service by Back4app that can assist you in deploying containerized apps using Git services. With Back4app Containers, I found Render a reliable Heroku alternative from this post.

Although Render has several positive reviews but I am not sure about customer service. I usually prefer a cloud computing platform with spontaneous customer support. Another solution that I consider a Heroku alternative is Engine Yard, but I noticed this PaaS platform lacks a free tier.

By the way, Koyeb, Qoddi and Northflank are new to me. I would love to learn more about them.

Anyways, good work, and keep it up.

Thanks for this article! I was looking for some alternatives.

Just a point from a Qoddi user: it does have an option to add custom domains and, as a downside, a credit card verification is needed for the free tier.

Don't get me wrong that's very good post and thanks for time spend on that. Just thinking if time of free servers is not ending? Also imo is good to have own infrastructure and that's not that expensive, but maybe in wrong? Lmk what you think guys __

I have tired many of theses services mentioned here. Northflank turned out to be the best for me. Go API with MySQL with persistent storage.
