Cheap “Heroku Workers” Alternatives?


Hi HN users, i'd love to know if there's cheap "heroku workers" alternatives so that i can just run a long-running background job ?

Rent a VPS is an option, but i want to free from devops work.

Koyeb (disclaimer I work there) lets you run workers and provides a free $5.50 credit that covers the cost of running 2 nano services.

Cloud Run Jobs https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/jobs/create-ex... would come to mind. Managed Docker containers that run as jobs to completion.
