Surge.sh is one of the simplest static site publishing providers. You can use their CLI tool to publish any project directly from the terminal or you could use its integration with various build tools like Grunt, Gulp, Travis CI and many more.
When I am not using a NoSQL database like MongoDB and need an RDBMS database for any project, I mostly use PostgreSQL. Elephant SQL is a great PostgreSQL as a Service for the cloud. Although they have a variety of plans for their service but their free tier is great for getting started with the PostgreSQL database in the cloud.
The company MongoDB itself created this service called MongoDB Atlas and provides a really good free tier with 512 MB of Storage, Shared RAM and Highly available replica sets, end-to-end encryption, automated patches, REST API.
Most of my side/client projects involve tasks where I require a fast, in-memory datastore either for caching, rate limiting or session management, for that, I mostly go with Redis. For the cloud Redis database, I use Redis Lab. You can signup for an account and get 1 database with 30 MB storage for free. This is more than enough for me for prototyping and testing things out.
Fly.io is a relatively new platform (founded in 2017) which has a free tier to test out the platform or host small side projects. They give each user \$10/mo of service credit that automatically applies to any paid service.
You can host serverless functions called Cloud Functions, however recently google has announced that to create functions that use Node.js version 10 and above, you have to enable billing for the account.
Firebase is not just a hosting service but a google backed product that provides lots of features along with hosting. Firebase gives you functionality like analytics, databases, messaging and crash reporting, etc.
