If you’ve been building stuff on web for a while now, you’ve probably heard of HEROKU and NETLIFY
Just-In-Case you haven’t heard about it
Quick Intro on Heroku and Netlify
- Heroku: A free PaaS (Platform as a Service), basically a cloud service that let’s you host and share your web apps.
- Netlify: A free hosting service for static sites, basically react, vanilla javascript, etc projects.
NETLIFY is Usually Used on Frontend Projects.
HEROKU is Usually Used on Backend Projects.
The Problem with Heroku
Pro’s:
- Heroku is Easy to Use.
- Heroku is Free.
Con’s:
- Heroku has Premium
Heroku’s free tier uses dynos (Stuff That Hosts Your Code) that sleeps after 30 mins of inactivity
Once a dyno falls asleep, It takes time for it to awaken.
So the initial response is slow and the damage is already done.

30 mins of inactivity
All We Need To Do is Do Something Every 30mins.
Nah 15mins to be on the safer side
For node.js dev(s) Out There
// Run Every 15 mins => 900 secs => 900000 ms
setInterval(()=>console.log("????"),900000)
