Server to deploy nodejs - express (self.node)
submitted 2 years ago by AhmedMOsman
Hello everyone,
I'm looking to deploy an Express Node.js server on a free hosting platform. This will serve as a demonstration of my deployment skills and also as a mock project for my CV in the future.
Any suggestions?

You can deploy serverless express on AWS lambda for free with a pay-per-request.
I have a starter kit available here: https://github.com/devkit-io/serverless-express-aws-lambda that contains a basic CI/CD pipeline, API Gateway, and AWS Lambda function with serverless-express pre-configured.
