Heroku will remove the free tier in November. What are the alternatives?

I'm using the scheduler and I love it but Heroku is removing their free tier in November (see https://blog.heroku.com/next-chapter).
What are the alternatives?

I'm using the scheduler just for personal use and I don't want to pay 7 to 15$ every month for Heroku

Fly.io, Vercel, Netlify are all alternatives I've had great experiences with.

The scheduler isn't geared for those platforms at this point, though.

Just checked out Railway. That was the fastest setup I've seen so far. Scheduler works there with very little setup.

Setup:

1. Fetch latest fork (I just pushed update)
2. Create an account on Railway. Connect with GitHub.
3. Create project from GitHub fork repo
4. Add environment variables
5. Add Postgres service (database)
6. Grab connection string from postgres and add it as environment variable to the scheduler. Use DATABASE_URL as its name.

That should work :)
