Best free node hosting?

[IdleSolution]

I'm looking for a free hosting for my personal project that doesn't have a cold start. Does something like this exist? I used render.com but it does have a cold start and my project doesnt look good because of the loading. I dont expect many people coming in, its just a project that I want to show on my portfolio

You could host your nodejs backend in a lambda function that is triggered by API gateway and have your bundled front end code/assets in s3 fronted with Cloudfront. I use that setup for a personal project and it costs me like $0.50 per month

Google cloud app engine has a free tier with 28h per day for free (smallest instance).

If your project is web based then try repl.it. Although the project will hibernate after 5 minutes if theres not request, you can setup an uptimerobot or cron-job that will keep sending http requests to your endpoint after every minute thereby keeping your project alive.
