I totally forgot, Codesandbox.io's devboxes might work… I don't full understand them though.

They have a monthly limit afaik
edit: 20 hours per month

I saw someone somewhere mention glitch.com, maybe that is a viable option

it has an ancient version of Python (3.8) which is long EOL at this point

TheCommCraft

Yeah, ok and it's also not working anymore

https://www.shuttle.rs/ for rust

most of your apps don't need to be always running anyway, i don't think i've seen a single backend in the ats that couldn't get away with being serverless yet

obviously I don't think serverless is the best option but it's often free (with limits of course) - expecting a free service to provide you with unlimited hosting forever is very silly

this topic is for hosting options for python. but i guess rust users could use it

aII toasters toast toast, but what happens when there are no longer toasters being produced? will their technology simply become obsolete, with humans moving onto bigger, better things? will toast become a distant memory, written in textbooks of the future as foods us simpler generations ate? who's to say! society is constantly moving, changing, evolving, ideas being built upon, improved upon, theories being proven or disproven. are we but a blip on the timeline? sure, our names may not be remembered, but that's not the point. you can make a change. you can make a difference. you can make the world better, even if you don't know yet. and the first step is to go for it. even if you are afraid of failure. going back to the example of toasters, do you know off the top of your head who invented them? no? have you used one? probably. so, even if you don't remember my name, if I was able to help awnser your question, that is enough. if I was able to help you, even in the slightest way, this could push you to continue with scratch and not give up after the program crashes, and maybe one day learn other programming languages and change the world. everything is a cause and effect reaction, new inventions lead to the technology of the future, and even as the generations of the past are slowly forgotten, their influence lives on to this day, affecting how the world eventually turned out and how it will be for generations to come.

and, without toasters, we wouldn't have toast.

Glitch seems to be the best option. If you were to run your projects 24/7, you can run 1 project with the free time it gives you. However, if you don't need your projects online 24/7. The free monthly hours will suffice for many projects. As long as the software you are hosting can be hosted on port 3000, it'll simply work. However, if you are running a python program that relies on anything Python 3.7 doesn't have, you can't use it.

Here's a summary/tldr below
Total monthly hours: 1000
Hours a 24/7 project uses: 672 a month
Free?: Yes
Requires card?: No

Considering full git instances are being hosted on Glitch, it'll work great for most applications. At least for small hobby projects that won't receive hundreds to thousands of requests.

But it needs ping to stay online, what are you planning on using for that

Vercel seems to be perfect for now but I'll do some testing first.

After some research, I conclude that Vercel cannot be used for scratchattach hosting but it can be used for flask servers and perhaps as a pinging system for glitch

I think it could be possible to setup a vercel proxy thingy website where a requests leads to a requests to something else (like glitch). And then one could use uptimerobot to regularly ping that.
