@user1004 & @Izuorah_Dubem why dont you try Railway you have 5$/month free usage and if you verify with card you get 10$, your app never sleeps and server auto scale with demand, also you have database you want: MySQL, PostgresSQL, Redis, MongoDB.
im “spending” 3$ with strapi and Postgres and strapi is running cron jobs every 1-2 minutes
i found it my self last week and so far I’m extremely satisfied
