Quick demos and POCs work well on Github Pages.
More dynamic apps can be hosted on Google Compute Engine's free tier. Single core Xeon vCPU with 600Mb RAM. Enough to run Ubuntu 16.04, Caddy, and a pipeline of concurrent golang micro-services in parallel for maybe a few simultaneous users per second ;)
Use Firebase or Cloud Datastore free tiers for real-time data persistence.
You'll get warnings about load, asking you to upgrade to a medium instance in the control panel. But it suffices for an MVP and to gauge interest. And it's effortless to scale when all you have is golang binaries, systemctl service scripts and API keys. No Docker Required!
To get even more minimal, try architecting a serverless solution. Best of luck!
