Hello everyone, I’m developing an open-source project and need Render to deploy my backend service ( NodeJS/ExpressJS ) .
I like Render because its really easy for me to deploy my backend service being a frontend dev .
Do you guys sponsor open source projects?
Please see our Free instance offerings: Deploy for Free – Render Docs
free instances shut down after sometime and I want my backend to be up all time.
is there any workaround for this?
You can have something ping your service to help keep it alive, but generally speaking free hosting is meant for environments where a spin-up time is acceptable.
If Render gave professional level hosting away for free for open source, they’d be out of business in a week 
I’ve got a workaround to keep my server up all time. Idk if I tell solution here, Render will block it or not:sob: , better to shut my mouth
