Heroku is removing the free tier

That sucks especially for students who owed heroku to have a simple way to show their work to the world

Where can I find free heroku alternatives?

I understand the rush to ask this question, but this ignores the structural issue which is the dark side of the internet:

Pedos, Crypto and Nazis

Every free tier offering, every free CI service, every free cloud service, every free storage situation, ... is being targeted by people highly motivated to let the free tier offering do their super illegal things, super morally rΓ©prΓ©hensible things and super wasteful "proof of work" "get rich quick" bitcoin shit.

So your alternative which is free today might well take the same decision tomorrow.

The other important question is "how do people offering free stuff make money in the long run?".

There is no way around this question and it's especially difficult if you also have to waste a lot of resources fighting pedos, crypto and Nazis.
