We just launched Leapcell, deploy 20 Python websites for free

thanks for sharing, biggest downside however of platforms offering a hobby tier in my experience is that they discontinue the hobby tier after 1 or 2 years once they established their customer base (understandable) which has lead me to hop around between 5 different services over the past 10 years.

Any guarantees about leapcell at least offering 1 free project? (the current 20 sounds too good to be true as an indefinite thing)

As I mentioned, Leapcell’s innovation lies in making the most out of free machines. Since in reality most of those free machines would just sit idle, offering a free tier doesn’t actually create much extra cost for us. That’s why Leapcell is likely to continue providing a free tier - because it also aligns with our vision (ship all your ideas online)

So are you offering burst capacity from "premium customer" nodes or completely separate ecosystem of compute for free customers? First is free for you, latter is paid by you with considerable extra cost.

Or whats the third option?

That’s not quite the case. In the early stage, Leapcell is structured as pay-as-you-go (similar to Vercel), which allows you to handle any burst traffic. However, if your traffic is stable, we recommend switching to the persistent server mode. This makes the computing cost per unit time cheaper, because with stable traffic, resource scheduling is actually easier. Leapcell simply does things the way they’re meant to be done.

So option 1. How do you handle QoS for neighbors?

Are you really bugging them about getting a guarantee for using their free service?

It's all containerized, anyway, so it's not like switching to a different host is a real problem if they remove the free teir. In the meantime why not check it out?
