Heroku free plan to be discontinued

[edwardch]

Hey @dfaruque,

I see you went through the efforts of setting up a demo on Heroku (which is great to see hosting work on such a platform, by the way!).

Heroku (owned by Salesforce) have announced that they are discontinuing their free plan: https://blog.heroku.com/next-chapter

I've seen a few people suggest using Fly.io as a Heroku replacement, and I see that you can host small apps for free with it. Looks like they have something to help you migrate, too: https://fly.io/launch/heroku

There may be other options out there (including paying for a Heroku dyno, which probably won't want to do), but so far Fly.io seems to be a good alternative.

Wonder if you, or anyone else, have thoughts on this?

Cheers, Edward

Thank you very much for the info. I will investigate Fly.io or others.
