Deploy websites and APIs (for free)
by Patrick Chong
Personally have tried most of the platforms here. All platforms have a generous free tier, with different limitations.
Website + API + Database #
- Deta - Totally free. Something quite new that I found out, still exploring and built a couple of prototypes with it. Apparently they will have an alternative way to generate revenue.
- Heroku
- Firebase
- Google Apps Script (if we consider Google Sheets as a database) (Javascript only)
- Glitch (JavaScript only)
- PythonAnywhere (Python only, MySQL)
Website + API #
- Vercel - Currently most of my projects are hosted here thanks to Vercel’s generous free plan, this website is on hosted Vercel too!
- Netlify
Database + Static File Storage #
- Supabase (PostgreSQL)
Database only #
- MongoDB Atlas (NoSQL)
Website only #
DNS service #
- Cloudflare
- Also has free SSL service
