Free Phoenix hosting options?
I am learning Elixir and Phoenix at the moment. I would like to know where I can get free hosting for my open-source Phoenix app. I know Oracle Cloud has a free tier, but unfortunately. It seems there hasn’t been any availability for the past month for always-free apps. I read Fly.io had a free tier at one point, but they seem to have discontinued it. I beleive the only free option right now is Gigalixir but, it seems they delete your apps if you don’t deploy often. Any suggestions?

If your bill amounts to $5 or less, Fly doesn’t charge you. Depending on your usage it often ends up being free.

I suggest to go with a cheap paid plan; more sustainable for both you and the hosting company: they made money off you and you see a bill and will use the resource wisely. Major hoster usually charge ~5 USD per month for the lowest plan, but there are even cheaper ones here:https://lowendbox.com/

https://northflank.com/ - 2 services/apps and an instance of PostgreSQL, in which you can have multiple databases, for free. I’m now a paying customer.

You can use Phoenix’s production Docker method for both: Deploying with Releases — Phoenix v1.7.21
