Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Northflank. Compare their limits on this page or open each one for details.
Serverless edge
Serverless functions and full-stack apps running on Cloudflare's edge network.
The catch: Each request gets only 10 ms of CPU, which heavy server-side rendering can exceed.
Edge runtime
Runs JavaScript and TypeScript apps on Deno's global network, deployed from GitHub or the CLI.
The catch: Egress is only 20 GiB a month, far below most static hosts.
Container platform
A developer platform for services, jobs and databases on its cloud or your own.
The catch: Compute and scaling are limited, and egress is billed at $0.06 per GB.
WebAssembly edge
Runs apps compiled to WebAssembly, including PHP and Python sites, on an edge network.
The catch: Your app must run on Wasmer's WebAssembly runtime, which not every library supports.
Serverless platform
Serverless hosting for web apps, APIs and async tasks, with built-in Redis.
The catch: Only 2 GB of outbound data and 60 build minutes a month.
Cloud platform
Hosts web services, static sites, cron jobs and databases from a Git repo.
The catch: The free service sleeps after 15 minutes, so the first visitor waits about a minute.
