How I host my Next.js side projects for free
Hosting side projects can be expensive but why pay all that money if you don't have to.
(Vercel)[https://vercel.com] offers a lot of benefits like:
- Free tier
- Easy and continuous deployments
- Automatic Scaling
- Super easy integration
Most projects need a database and they can get very expensive.
I host my postgresql databases on heroku using their hobby tier.
There are a few downsides though like:
- Maximum of 20 connections allowed
- Maximum of 10,000 rows
For tiny projects it works well where I don't have a lot of users.
I hope this article was helpful thanks for reading.
