Launching my site with render.com (NodeJS)

Posted by Masis on Wed Feb 08 2023


Finally there are free alternatives to heroku app!  Even though I had no issues with my main webopsit.com React app hosted on heroku app, I discovered few free alternatives to heroku thanks to Brad Travesey youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MusIvEKjqsc) .  Render.com is great for NodeJS, Go, server based apps with API and Cyclic.sh supports full stack/MERN app which I will be deploying few of mine MERN apps very soon.

Only downside with Render.com (free tier) is deployment takes 4-5 minutes and slow rendreing by 4-5 seconds.
