There are many free hosting services out there that are better than Heroku. AWS's free tire's validity is from 6-12 months. As a student with no earning source, I think we should not host all of our projects on AWS. We can use AWS's free tire for just learning the purpose of AWS.

Thanks for your comment! There are indeed free tier services that expire after 12 months, categorized as "12 months free", like EC2 or RDS. But there are also the "Always free" options, like DynamoDB, API gateway and Lambda, so if you keep your usage below the free tier limit, they will be free indefinitely. This can change, of course, but AWS really wants to grow the adoption of serverless services, so I am optimistic that we can enjoy these free offering for a while.
