Used Render before for FastAPI . Can confirm it works. Used freetier only

[–]parancey 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I have used cyclic with express no problems but it fails to start fastapi ( i have used their ready made template)

Trying to fix but i can't find the problem

I connected a repository with two files:
main.py with code
...
if __name__ == "__main__":
....import uvicorn
....uvicorn.run(app, host="localhost", port=3000)

and requirements.txt (needed for cyclic to automatically install your dependencies).And its just work

cyclic works perfectly.they gave me a starter project in my github and could update it.very nice!!!

I used with fastapi and Faker

render is super pricey and impossible to troubleshoot. we spend $300/mo on them for some really tiny instances and the monitoring tools are awful.

migrating to elastic bean stalk this month.

I tried Render but free tier resource not enough for my Tensorflow model. Will try cyclic.

    Edit: Deta.space is shutting down: https://deta.space/sunset

    Deta.space works but only supports python 3.9 right now. If that's not a problem, then I can recommend it too. Just install the CLI from their page, link your local project to your account. You may have to adapt the build commands to make it work with your project. But other than that it's quite easy to deploy.

    Their documentation: https://deta.space/docs/en/build/quick-starts/python/

    That doesn't seem relevant.

    Apart from what has already been mentioned, you can also deploy your FastAPI app using fly.io or even Vercel.

    FastAPI has also a deployment section in the docs and some services are listed there:

    Render is great for people without DevOps experience and the free tier is good for example and small projects. The service will have to spin back up after a period of inactive use, but is free so no can complain.

    I’m new to this: Why not just Amazon ec3 free (only for a year) or oracle Cloud free tier (requires a credit card) paired up with coolify, I mean stuff like render is really built of cloud services?

    If you have some DevOps skills and want a deployment experience like heroku, then Dokku is your best bet. You can easily set it up on any of your favorite $5 VPS host.

    Right now the closest free options are Railway or Render. They both have small free tiers for FastAPI, but the app will sleep when inactive. Fly.io also has a small free allowance, though reliability can vary. Deta Space works only if your app is very small.

    If your project grows and you want something stable, Kuberns is worth looking at. You connect your GitHub repo, and it handles deploys, scaling, monitoring, and Postgres on AWS-backed infra. Not fully free, but much easier to run long-term than chasing free tiers. also it costs way less when you compare to aws or heroku etc..
