I had the same challenge after the end of the Heroku free tier. In my case, fly dot io was the perfect alternative for me. Here is my blog post which details step-by-step how to deploy to fly dot io for free!

I've been suffering for the same reason. Is fly good with non-node related codebases php/Laravel apps for example?

I went with Digital Ocean's doplets but it requires some config to host at $6.

Obrigado pelo artigo, Renan! Vi que você é brasileiro, então tomei a liberdade de escrever em português. Não conhecia o fly.io e achei legal que ele tem plano free, suporte para Docker e também Django, que usava bastante. Vou tentar colocar um projeto que estava no Heroku nele e ver no que dá.

[Eduardo Matsuoka](https://hashnode.com/@edumats), feliz por vê artigo de brasileiro na aba de destaques 👏👏😀!!

Que massa que pude agregar! Estou super satisfeito com o fly.io gratuito! No entanto, eu tenho consciência que os recursos são bem limitados 😁! Mas é de graça 🤣!

Na documentação do fly.io tem uma ferramenta que automatiza a migração de uma aplicação no heroku para o fly.io.

[Jesus Guerrero](https://hashnode.com/@freesgen), you can publish anything which you can put inside dockerfile 😃

[Renan Franca](https://hashnode.com/@renanfranca) obrigado pela dica da migração, já não tenho desculpas para fazer isso já, hehe!
