Document deployment to heroku alternative with a free plan

[etewiah]

As heroku have now cancelled their free plan I would like to add documentation about deploying to an alternative provider with a free plan.

[Ose-Augustine]

I would love to work on this. Fly.io is a good alternative

I would love working on this project. Since heroku cancelled its free plan, a number of other options are worthy. I will work on this using railway.

I have deployed multiple applications using fly.io & render. I would love to deploy your application to any of the providers you suggest! I would actually prefer fly.io since their plans are very cheap and flexible compared to others.

I did a detailed and well-structured tutorial to deploy a ruby on rails app in fly.io in my LinkedIn, I had feedback from my partners. I want to participate in this task.

Render: Render is a cloud platform for deploying and scaling web applications, with a free plan that includes 100 GB of data transfer and 2 GB of RAM. You can read more about render plans here https://render.com/pricing#compute

fly.io: fly.io is a cloud platform for deploying and running applications globally, with a free plan that includes 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB of bandwidth, and a custom domain. Additionally, fly.io offers advanced features such as automatic SSL, global load balancing, and real-time logs.

I would love to deploy your application to any of your preferred providers! Thank you

Here's the Fly docs for Ruby if you need it — https://fly.io/docs/rails/getting-started/

@Ose-Augustine , as you were the first to make a proposal I guess it is only fair to assign this to you.

1. Firebase: Firebase is a mobile and web application development platform. It offers a free plan with hosting for static websites and serverless functions, as well as a database and authentication features.
2. AWS Elastic Beanstalk: AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a cloud-based platform that provides a managed environment for deploying and scaling web applications. AWS Elastic Beanstalk offers a free plan that includes up to 750 hours of Amazon EC2 usage per month.
3. Dokku: Dokku is an open-source platform that enables developers to deploy and manage applications on their own servers. Dokku offers a free plan that includes basic features such as deployment and scaling. However, you would need to have your own server to deploy your application.

Each of these alternatives has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to consider your specific requirements.

Alright. Working on it

Fly just launched a feature that lets you pass the URL of a Dockerfile into fly launch

That means if you add a Dockerfile to this repo that can run this application you could add something like this to the README:

---

Launch this application by creating an account on Fly and running:

$ brew install flyctl
$ fly launch --dockerfile https://raw.githubusercontent.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/master/Dockerfile

How about leveraging AWS's Free Tier?

Hello @etewiah if no one is currently working on this, could I please work on this? I propose to use render or fly.io to complete this assignment

Thanks @Vinayaka2k . I haven't tried out the fly launch command mentioned by someone else earlier but I suspect that will work:

$ brew install flyctl
$ fly launch --dockerfile https://raw.githubusercontent.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/master/Dockerfile

I would like to update this repo and get the tests working though. Let me know if you'd be interested in that.

Hello @etewiah,

If no one has taken this yet, I’d be happy to take it on. I would upload it to Render.

I’ve already deployed several of my own websites to Render’s free tier and also conducted a Zoom session for 50 participants, teaching them how to deploy their applications to the cloud.

Hi @golzus thanks for your interest. Will be great if you can try deploying to Render and updating the documentation with how it goes.
