Hi. I’ve been learning elixir for a few months and I’ve created a few pet projects. And I wish to put this in a production-ish environment in hopes to improve my resume.
What service would you guys recomend I use given these aren’t enterprise apps ?
I’ve been taking a look a Heroku Hobby plan, but I’m not sure if this is really the best option.
my real projects are on heroku - my pet projects live on a single 3€/month server at scaleway.com - also good exercise in deployment/nginx/letsencrypt for ssl etc etc.
so a small cheap VPS…
would also deploy to heroku just for practice/understanding etc.
I once had an issue but in 30 minutes 3 engineers responded, which was so far the greatest support experience I had on a cloud provider.
I’m using a “High Frequency Compute” VPS with NVME which starts from 6 USD and it’s really fast. https://ipv6.party/ Check it out it’s very snappy (based in Amsterdam)
No, only static sites are free. Though you can start on the cheapest app tier without billing details.
I have an umbrella project there at the moment. Building isn’t exactly fast, at least on the cheapest tier, but the app seems to run fine. (Next to no load.)
