Suggest a Decent(free) Hosting for a Flask App


Hi HN,

I have trained a Reinforcement learning agent to play a game and I would like to make it interactive through a web app so that others can also use it. I have sketched a simple frontend and a flask backend. (It runs perfectly locally)

I want to host it, and since it is not a high-end project, I am looking for free hosting, preferably one that doesn't take forever to load and respond.

My personal progression for hosting Flask has been:

PythonAnywhere.com

-> Uberspace.de

-> AWS EC2

Very limited initial web hosting experience. (Aside from hosting very simple own projects à la Wordpress or setting up SSL in the terminal)

Each of these steps has been cheaper than the previous, but slightly more involved (and much more capable).
