    If you're looking for database hosting, a lot of the platforms above also offer PostgreSQL database hosting. But besides these platforms, I've used Supabase for PostgreSQL, it's very user friendly, and the plans are pretty generous. If I recall correctly, you can use it for free for the first 500 MB of data.

    Code, create, andlearn together. Use our free, collaborative, in-browser IDE to code in 50+ languages — without spending a second on setup.
    You can also do your hosting at replit. This is a lot more manual, but still pretty easy to set up. Unfortunately this too shuts down after a certain time of inactivity.

    Render is a unified platform to build and run all your apps and websites with free SSL, a global CDN, private networks and auto deploys from Git.
    I've been using Render. Their free tier is pretty generous. The only issue is the server will turn off after every 15 minutes of inactivity. But if you can set up a CRON job that polls it every few minutes, you can avoid that.

    There's also Railway, but they recently announced that their free plan will be deprecated.

  5. The comprehensive developer platform to build and scale microservices, jobs and managed databases with a powerful UI, API & CLI.
    I've used Northflank, their plans are also pretty generous. They don't have Django framework support though if I recall correctly, but you can easily set something up yourself using Docker.

    Edge computing is the new frontier.
    I've also heard of Fly.io and Koyeb but haven't used them personally, so I don't know how good they are.
