Back at Heroku, wanted to do the $5 dyno _forever_. It looks like it's finally here, albeit from a different company. I haven't tried it yet, but this could be the biggest win in internet infrastructure that hobbyists have had in years. digitalocean.com/pricing/#ap…

I've been playing with it... and it's pretty damn great.

Nice. Let me know what your first impressions are. I'll probably try to deploy _something_ this weekend.

I’ve been meaning to try @KintoHub for hobby apps - seem very cheap, though also a smaller company for better and worse.

You're on the right track. Our main focus is on hobbyists at the moment to build our product upward into teams. In general, we want development to be simple and low cost with features like sleeping and cost optimization through discounted resources.

Haha, yes! Man I have multiple projects deploying automatically from GitHub Actions now and it's the dream.

Heroku has had free and hobby ($7) forever? It all depends on wether you want to be on AWS infrastructure or not. And if you need horizontal scaling. And if you want to do you own upgrades. But you know this.

I personally think gigalixir.com and render.com are much more compelling.
