  • How to ditch Neon
    1) Render.com currently offers postgres databases for $7 a month. The $7 instance is pretty weak as far as RAM and CPU, and their prices also get pretty unreasonable after that. However, this is a quick setup and cheaper alternative to Neon. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
  • Ask HN: Those of you who don't use AWS/Azure/GCP, what do you use for hosting?
    I use Cloudflare Serverless for front end apps and Render for backend services. - Cloudflare [1] scales easily and has a lot of easy to use services like databases and storage buckets, JAM Stack front end pages, and CDN services for images and videos. - Render [2] has been great for us to spin up Python services quickly. I haven't worked with a production load on Render, but I hear good things :) [1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

  • My First PWA in NextJS
    You have the option of using multiple GET routes or one depending on your project. I have two, one for testing which is my "/" route and then another one for returning quotes "/new-quote". My "new-quote" route will go through my array of quotes and then find one randomly. So then the API will return the result of that call. Once you get everything running how you want it, it's time to get it online. If you... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
  • CapRover : Dumb name, awesome tool
    Render.com raised their prices last year. Their "Starter" instance type (512 MB / 0.5 CPU) is $7 per month. The next step up is their "Standard" instance type (2 GB / 1 CPU) which increased to $25 per month. Most of the services I manage are too big for a 512MB instance and to small for the 2Gb instance. If you're up for a laugh go check on the pricing of their 4GB and above instances. Current pricing is here. On... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

The Best Cloud Hosting Providers for Elixir Phoenix
We followed the Deploy a Phoenix App with Mix Releases guide to deploy Phoenix and Postgres. First, we created our Phoenix app, updated for releases, added Render environment variable config, and added a Render-provided build script file. We had to refer to Phoenix Deployment with Distillery guide for database set up. Finally, we set up continuous deployment using Render’s one-click integration with GitHub.
