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.

I personally have tried:
AWS - free tier
GAE - free tier (Google Cloud now :))
Digital Ocean - (Github Student Pack pack promo for 50$, you need to have an email address which ends with *.edu)

@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].

In the dashboard for the org, you can mouseover and see if you’re on the “Legacy Hobby Plan” which has no monthly minimum spend.
I think it was earlier this year, but might have been late last year. I don’t recall there being an official announcement probably because everyone was grandfathered and it only affected new users. Sure has left many people confused though.
