Next let’s get hosting! Go to https://railway.app/ and create an account. Now create a new project and select your repo:

Welcome 👋 to this blog. Do you want to host or deploy your flask web server on the production completely free and want to access different production features like configuring environment variables, choose a different version of frameworks or language, etc.? Then you are in the correct place. In this blog, I'll show how to deploy/host a Flask web server in Railway.

Railway is a platform that provides hosting solutions for full-stack web applications. It offers developers an easy way to deploy and manage their applications without worrying about infrastructure management. it also supports various programming languages, frameworks, and databases, making it suitable for a wide range of projects. it also simple to use and it also has a free tier which is has a little benefit than Render.

Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a term that captures tools built for developers to use where they don’t need devops engineers to deploy to the cloud. Heroku was the “category-defining” product here, and modern successors include Vercel, Render, Railway, Replit, platform.sh, Aptible, Northflank, and more. We have to say that there are some amazing products in this category. Developer Experience is at a premium!

Railway is a platform that allows you to easily deploy web apps and APIs. It offers a free tier of $5 worth of free usage per month when you sign up.

So this is what I did 1. Connected to the POSTGRES database on railway.app. 2. Ran first migration command for Django (after initiating project) 3. Removed the Entire DataBase on Railway (to see how Django responds) 4. Created a New Database again on the railway.app 5. Updated the variables for new DB credentials in Django 6. After Running the DEVELOPMENT server, I Found the Session Table Missing Error 7. Tried MAKE MIGRATIONS command, result (No changes detected)

Another question is around railway.app. Would the hobby plan be enough for such a kind of website ? its 5$/month and contains ssl cert, and easy github PR deploys, which would make it quite interesting for me .

Railway is a serverless platform that makes it easy to deploy and manage applications and databases. It offers a variety of features, including automatic scaling, high availability, and support for a variety of programming languages and frameworks.

The Server and Postgres Database are hosted on https://railway.app, with the client on Netlify.com’s free tier.

Starting August 1, 2023, Railway is going to remove their free Developer plan and people have to switch to Hobby plan which is €5 a month. First Heroku and now Railway. Where do I host my portfolio website for free?

So about a year ago, I wanted to make a transition from being a full-time employee to being a freelancer. First I've created many social media accounts, spread my business word-by-mouth and developed my own website. I have to say that I am really happy I've took the step. To up til now I've had way better results when it comes to developing websites and web applications compared to being an employee: better performance, speed, accessibility, less bugs, etc. I'm just more productive doing freelancing. And normally, being happy makes a human more productive. Compared to being an employee, I feel like I am doing true craftsmanship: building apps for my clients from zero to the last feature. And later on extending them even more. And I am not only talking about making simple websites with WordPress. Some of my mid-large sized projects are custom made with code like Next.js and Laravel. I like to keep my clients under contact so they always come to me to extending features and have a long term partnership. And having written the code myself, I intimately know almost everything of the project, allowing me to pick up where I left off without much effort. This is because I always create a "private readme" and an one page documentation so I know from where I should continue and I also have my own private mini-Notion like SaaS tailored for freelancing.

I did use WordPress for my clients. Even if it was only for frontend without backoffice needed. But nowadays, I am just using Next.js (React framework) to build static websites and host it for free somewhere like Netlify or Cloudflare. My website for example was also made with Wordpress couple of years ago. But I wanted to ant up my web dev skills so I revamped my whole website into Next.js. It is connected with Strapi as a headless CMS though.

I don’t recommend using Wordpress as a Headless CMS because eventually you will have maintain and update plugins and more. If you know how to code, I would recommend PayloadCMS. My website is currently built with Next.js and Strapi. But I am planning to move to PayloadCMS in the near future. Strapi is good if you prefer no-code. PayloadCMS in case you know how to code with Typescript and Node.js.
