Anyone know any good hosting options for little personal, experimental Rails apps that might not go anywhere (i.e. that I might well lose interest in but forget to cancel)?
I’ve always liked Vercel’s approach for these kind of side-projects, as I don’t have to worry about cancelling anything if I stop using it. But I guess that is a perk of it being serverless, which precludes Rails. What’s the next best option, something suitable for small, database-driven Rails apps?
- softwaredoug 2y agoI just use Fly (http://fly.io http://fly.io) for toys... and it works pretty well. Have not tested at scale / reliability for a real thing.
- krschacht 2y agoRender is another good option. I too prefer Fly for my toy apps, but it has a little bit more of a learning curve than Render.
- azuanrb 2y agoYou're correct. You need a server, so Vercel approach with serverless are not applicable here. As for the hosting, any VPS should be fine. I host mine on Digital Ocean. You can use Kamal to setup for database too. Or if it's simple enough, sqlite is great.
