    Sidekiq worker on Render (by render-examples)

    Haven't tried the others, but render.com was a breeze to migrate to from Heroku. So far, the DX is better with render.com, but the response times have been dismal compared to Heroku, so I'd recommend you test. I use freshping on a 5 minute interval to keep the free tier from spinning down.

    Develop. Preview. Ship.

    There's also https://vercel.com/ ... I've got a little next.js site on their hosting for free. I'm not sure how different that is to Heroku though, I don't think they do DBs?
