I'd like to second this. The amount of free compute available to serverless infrastructure is insane! Serverless does have a learning curve but it's worth it to learn.
The next best is Heroku's free tier.
- aetimmes 7y agoI feel like Heroku got left behind in the current k8s craze but they're still a good choice for a lot of use-cases, cheap MVPs being one of them.
- cpursley 7y agoHeroku is still significantly easier to use than Docker/K8s.
- futureastronaut 7y agoThat depends on your mental model. The isolation and reproducibility of Docker is much easier for me than dealing with build pack nonsesne.
- sandis 7y agoYou can deploy Docker images to Heroku. https://devcenter.heroku.com/categories/deploying-with-docker https://devcenter.heroku.com/categories/deploying-with-docke...
- freehunter 7y agoI love Heroku but the problem is the price. The free tier is amazing, but once you get above that, the price scales way out of proportion. It's worth it if you're profitable beyond the point of infrastructure costs and just need to outsource operational costs. But if you're strong on operations and short on cash, Heroku is pretty darn expensive. It's cheaper than hiring an operations team, but it's a heck of a lot more expensive than, say, dokku on a Digital Ocean or Linode VPS.
- cpursley 7y agoHasura on Heroku's free-tier for the backend + netlify's free tier sounds like the sweet spot.
