Thanks for this, really appreciate it. Know you are inspiring a lot of the younger generation of developers, especially python developers.

[@sakshibhatia3898]

Really needed this time since Heroku free version expires 28 November. Thanks a lot :)

Well, it is not really free, it has only 500 hours free at the beginning...

[@NeuralNine]

This was also the case for Heroku though

[@vaulttectradingco8438]

@@NeuralNine Heroku gave you 750 hours per month (no charge) if you enter credit card. So, not exactly. imo it is worth covering gcp free tiers. They have good options too.

[@eugenmalatov5470]

So basically 21 days of running one job is free. So good to test small scripts. But not so good if you like to run several internet background jobs. I also wonder how scheduled jobs are best handled.

[@RemotHuman]

You get unlimited free hours if you add a credit card I think. (but it will charge you if you use too much resources and go over the free plan)

[@ebenezersiaw935]

so heroku was the GOAT of free hosting then

[@1mrnewton]

Thank you for this update.

[@eugenmalatov5470]

Thanks for introducing this tool to us. Two points 1) if I understand it correctly the main point of the video is to show how you can link the railway directly to the development path on the computer using the Railway-CLI and npm (actually I was not aware of npm as a non Javascript guy). Question: given that you can pull the projects directly from the github you link to ... is this really such a big deal? 2) I have linked myself to railway with github. The account is only 2 months old and only includes one app. So it was not accepted. I have given my credit card credentials. Now I got the 500 hours, but github is still not verified ... can I already deploy? Probably not. Anybody has an idea how to move forward? 3) Assuming I want to have an app that does a webscraping once a day. How can I schedule the job so I do not have too much processor time? Plus: how can I connect a python script to a railway database?

[@comfixit]

If you are running on Windows you can use Scoop as an alternative to NPM.

Keep up man🔥🖤🖤

[@greenstreet704]

great video, thanksss

[@eugenmalatov5470]

seems they have cancelled the free tier

[@MrEri299]

thank you

[@stanislaspaquin3665]

tbh i owned a raspberry pi and this makes my life easier

[@retinavr8909]

Can you use this to host a socket server? I already have a server script written in python like your socket tutorial. If i have that on railway, can i connect a client from my pc to that server on railway?

[@pinguimaya]

Can you make a heroku tutorial pls, like how can i upload my server on python flask on heroku for free

[@severussnapeytp715]

you can't they removed it

[@philtoa334]

Thx_.

[@saifbenzamit5980]

There is netlify completely free without limits

[@waseksamin3216]

Netlify is only for frontend, not backend

[@tusharsnn]

netlify will not provide a server which can run your code. Its just going to serve the static files like js, html, css or image files to the user thats it, so its basically a server that serve your webpage and does not do anything more.
