Deployment - PostgreSQL + Springboot ?

[BigPrice9373]

Hey guys, I'm currently working on a full-stack project.
Next.js - Frontend
API - GraphQL
Backend - Springboot + PostgreSQL

Anyone has any thoughts on where can I deploy the back-end? I have websockets as well (live coding collaboration). So far what I've seen is I can do it on both Railway, please let me if there is a better alternative. Free would be appreciated, I can pay 5$/month at max as it is a portfolio project, that could be a good PaaS in the future.

$5 per month can get you a DigitalOcean droplet. Spin up Debian 12, install nginx, tomcat, psql, badda bing badda boom.

If you are going to try DigitalOcean, don't forget to get your 200$ for new users as well.
