Free hosting for Elixir/Phoenix?

So, is Heroku the only free option for hosting Phoenix/Elixir at this point? I’m not ready to commit to paying monthly and was wondering what kind of options are out there for the Free tier and what peoples’ experience with them are.

@jsonify, gigalixir.com now has a free tier, no credit card required. It’s very similar to Heroku except that it supports node clustering, hot upgrades, and remote console. It doesn’t restart your processes every 24 hours, restrict you to arbitrary simultaneous connections per instance, or limit each connection to an arbitrary number of seconds.

I’m the founder, feel free to reach out to me for help.

You get 1 app instance and 1 postgres instance for free. Yes, 24/7 no restarts except in extreme circumstances. We currently only support Distillery. There is a “tutorial” for modifying an existing Phoenix app [1] and one for using the gigalixir-getting-started template repo [2].

Fwiw, gigalixir free tier does not sleep.
