Best Place to host your app for FREE!
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing I like about Heroku is its ability to handle any kind of application, you can install any backend, frontend app with this and it works like charm. Also, the added advantage is its free tier, where you can run an app for free with a Dyno. you can also install multiple other apps for free, but they will stop working once they are idle.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most people dislike the Heroku app sleeping policy as if your app doesn't get traffic for some time, they put it to sleep affecting performance. Also pricing is one factor, to look for if you compare it with AWS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a Bot installed on Heroku for free, this bot tweets a mars image every one hour. Earlier i thought of other solutions, but nothing works better than heroku.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Opt for Heroku if you are building your app for project, as its free and does the job
Easy and affordable API hosting platform
What do you like best about the product?
Straight forward product and affordable pricing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The server logs is a bit laggy. I wish there was a better way to view the logs as they come in as well as log history.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Heroku to host my small business' custom API that powers our core service. It is an affordable and simple product that helped us get up and running with minimal setup on our Node.js API.
It's free and enough for students
What do you like best about the product?
It's free upto a limit and students can now host their projects for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could have given a bit more in free subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting my Discord bots.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have a proper knowledge, otherwise you may get into trouble.
The only free hosting service
What do you like best about the product?
Being students, we don't have enough money to host our project. Heroku gives us that benefit with its free subscription.
What do you dislike about the product?
If we ignore the free version, it's a bit expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My hosting problem. No other provider gives a free hosting service.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Again. it's a bit complicated for beginners.
Fantastic platform to deploy project to both free and paid plans.
What do you like best about the product?
Very reliable service with excellent support for different platforms. I especially love the free tier for development projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the biggest fan of some of the set up that is required, but overall pretty easy. The free tier has Dynos that will sleep and it can take a while to wake back up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploy one off experiments as well as full commercial products to the service. Once things are set up it just makes it easy to experiment and try things in a live environment.
Now just focus on development, not on deployment
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple is deploying an application on Heroku is. I mostly use Heroku when developing any projects because I know that I don't need to worry about the deployment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing. Heroku price for each ad-ons separate and that is a negative point from my side. If Heroku can somehow work on their pricing more to provide more benefits to small businesses, that would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deployment of applications. Currently, I use Heroku for my apps and database hosting. and its just some clicks and work is done.
Bring your web application online for others
What do you like best about the product?
It is one of the best cloud-based free and paid web hosting for new developers and startups. It has support for many popular languages like Python, Ruby, Node Js, etc. and has an easy deployment, and also has a command-line interface ( CLI ) for the deployment of your web apps in an easy way.
What do you dislike about the product?
For free users, it has a limited database and can be a little expensive for large applications. The website may be down for the number of times in a year.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the help of Heroku, one can bring its web application online for or to their customers. One can gain a massive amount of traffic on their website.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, you should deploy your application online if you want to earn money or gain some traffic or if you want to show a demo of your work.
Using Heroku to assess and deploy software installments.
What do you like best about the product?
Heroku makes billing and oversight easy while allowing many different deployments.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike, the deployments are super easy and the interface can easily be understood.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're conducting software deployments and building an app, and using Heroku has made that process very easy.
Heroku allows you get up and running fast.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setting up; It is a very straightforward process to set up Heroku and start developing. Since it is cloud-based, we don't need to set up any hardware that allows developers to create a killer application.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, there's nothing that I dislike about Heroku.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were working with the contractor to develop a web application, and we didn't want to set up another on-site server; hence we tried Heroku.
Best free hosting platform. Incredibly easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
It's completely free and really great for small scale apps. It does put your app to sleep and reboot takes time but it's just 4 commands to get set up with and completely free.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reboot. Unfortunately they put your app to sleep if it's unused for a while and reboot takes a while. This is only on the free version though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploying websites! Benefits are that I'm able to have a full stack MERN app deployed for free!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nothing much! It's very easy to set up so I'd definitely recommend trying it to see if it fits your use case.
