Off topic: What's the best free alternative for small side projects?

• detaro 11y ago
  Closest thing with a "full" free tier I know about is OpenShift. (For some stuff, heroku's free tier still can work out fine)
  • jslakro 11y ago
    Yeah. I think Heroku is the best choice right now. A web dyno and a worker dyno running 18h/day for free
    • detaro 11y ago
      OpenShift gives you free "gears" without the time limit.

      How is time calculated? Is it actual hours in a day or actually calculated when a dyno is serving something? For example if the app sits idle for a couple hours a day would it still server content for 24hours?

  AWS opsworks is free, you pay for the instances. So a small app can be free with their free tier for one year.

  convox.io is pretty awesome for deploying docker applications to AWS ~ part of the current ycombinator batch.
