![Cover image for Where to deploy your node.js app [April 2022]](https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=1000,height=420,fit=cover,gravity=auto,format=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F1w1u9sv0hbn7zj2lwzpz.png)
These are some of the services I've been trying lately to deploy my backend applications.
Cloudflare Workers
Great DX, docs and community. Free course on egghead.io. Not compatible with all npm packages.
Begin
Begin deploys your app to AWS while offering a "vercel-like" frontend. Only compatible with npm for now. They respond quickly by email.
Railway.app
Railway is really promising. The web-app UX/UI reminds me of Linear. Really good docs.
Render.com
Vercel-like experience for backend apps. Kinda slow if you're on the free tier. Great developer experience and easy to use and get going.
Digital Ocean
Slightly higher learning curve but great option. Tons of tutorials and great documentation.
Heroku
Pretty much same as Digital Ocean. Really popular for beginners.
Honorable mentions
Flight Control
New tool I haven't had the chance to try yet but looks really promising :)

Congrats Jordi. Nowadays, App Platform in Digital Ocean allow us easly deploy nodejs app with or without Dockerfile. This is amazing!!!
