• How to keep an HTTP connection alive for 9 hours

  The app is deployed to Heroku and when it came time to switch the mode to email-on-account-creation mode, it was a very simple environment change:. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• How to Process Scheduled Queue Jobs in Node.js with BullMQ and Redis on Heroku

  Heroku is a cloud platform that makes it easy to deploy and scale web applications. It provides a number of features that make it ideal for deploying background job applications, including:. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• I made a Bot.. How do I use it?

  Once you've created it you can host it locally (this means leaving the program running on your computer) or host it through a service online. I haven't personally tried this yet, but I believe you can use a site like heroku.com or other similar services. Source: 11 months ago

• Making AJAX Applications Crawlable? How to build a simple web service on Google App Engine to produce HTML Snapshots?

  I have my app hosted on Heroku, who (to my knowledge) are unable to offer a solution for running a Headless (GUI-less) Browser - such as HTMLUnit - for generating HTML Snapshots for Googlebot to index my AJAX content. Source: about 1 year ago

• Engineers who have a personal website/blog, what are you using to host/generate it?

  Over the years, I’ve gone from Time Warner’s Road Runner, to Tumblr, to GitHub Pages, to Godaddy hosted WordPress. Though, after Godaddy messed up a migration, I switched to self-hosting on Heroku. I wrote my blog engine using Crystal. Reference: ejstembler.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Struggling to find the right CMS choice for an ecommerce project

  Even Strapi needs to be hosted somewhere, and that usually involves a recurring fee. I've had great success over the past 2 years building blogs using http://webiny.com, and because they get low traffic, I've only ever had 1 bill from AWS that was around 80 cents US. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I am looking for a (open-source) headless cms to use for small to medium client projects.

  Strapi is awesome, I've been a fan of the project since its early days. However, I've been closely watching Webiny too. It's easier to host because you don't have to worry about running Docker containers or installing MongoDB on your local machine. Instead you put it on your AWS account (can be done with a few clicks), define your content models once it's there and you then only pay for usage. http://webiny.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• What’s your top CMS choice?

  Yeah I hear you, SAAS CMS platforms can get prohibitively expensive really quickly after the initial free tier expires. I've found hosting Strapi (or similar) on Heroku has saved me the cost of keeping a server instance running, which usually would cost $5-10 per month. However, the most cost effective for me so far has been Webiny. It's serverless so you install it on AWS and typically don't pay as much (if... Source: about 2 years ago

• What should I use to build my new project?

  Otherwise if you want a framework to build on, there's Redwood (which works particularly well on Netlify and Vercel) or Webiny (for AWS, Azure and others). - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
