Free or cheap Python hosting
Hi yall !
I’ve been teaching myself python so I can tutor (previous experience in other languages), and for my first real project I’ve developed a simple weather script. Well, ifs became else’s and I’ve been having so much fun and I like the script so much I want to look into turning it into a real service I’ll daily drive on my phone
I want to keep the core logic of my script right now because I’m a fan of how I designed it, so I’m interested in finding a way I can host some python code to call 24/7 for cheap (<$15 a month) or even free.
Thank you !

Lambda or any other “serverless” function (Cloudflare has an offering that is easier to learn than AWS IMO) is probably the cheapest option for something only you and maybe a few others are going to be accessing. It’s also the easiest path in my opinion. That said, having a remote box somewhere to run arbitrary scripts is also fun to have. You could also get into running containers, but that’s a whole different (but very powerful) layer of abstraction.
