Hello, as Heroku free plan is being terminated, what is your best alternative to host a simple Ktor REST API server? Thanks a lot

Not sure this question necessarily fits the purpose of this slack. But regardless, my personal recommendation would be to use fly.io

it’s a ktor channel.. I would like feedback of people using Ktor serveer, where do they host it.. I find it relevant but if not I can remove it!

Thanks I will check this out 🙂

I’d use a dockerized deployment on one of the big cloud providers (AWS/GCP/Azure), it’s not going to be free, but pretty close to free, and more future-proof than smaller platforms. As for deployment process itself, my recommendation is Pulumi. F.e. to deploy to AWS Fargate you can follow https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/how-to-guides/ecs-fargate/

Interesting, thanks. Gonna have a look
