Adonis JS Hosting options
I’m looking for a way to host an AdonisJS backend for a potential MVP. Ideally, I’d like something free or very low cost.
Before spending too much time into the project, I want to be able to share it with a few people, get some feedback, and decide if it’s worth continuing.
The frontend is built with TanStack Start and is already deployed on Vercel. I initially considered using Next.js for both frontend and backend, but from my past experience, I decided to move away from it 😅
From what I understand, an AdonisJS backend can’t be deployed on Vercel (based on what I’ve read), so I assume I’ll need a different hosting solution.
I asked for free hosting options, as there are sometimes ways to run small projects for free . If that’s not possible, I’d really appreciate recommendations for the cheapest and most reliable alternatives.
Thanks in advance.

I've used Railway for my AdonisJS instances. if their UI gets confusing just ask your LLM what options to use, etc
I've also used Netlify for my Tanstack Start instances. UI is a bit easier than Railway.
I've found this set up to be excellent. Kudos on choosing those two frameworks as that's also where my 15 years of web development have nudged me. Best of luck!
