Describe your suggestion

Adaptable.io has stopped offering a free tier, so it shouldn't be on the list anymore, or at least the information should be updated. Source of Screenshot Screenshot_2024-09-12_19-15-35 They explain their decision here.

Maybe Adaptable doesn't need to be removed as a PaaS option and the information can be updated instead. The Ruby path deployment lesson still lists Heroku as an option even though they don't have a free tier (though I don't know if that's an oversight). Adaptable's build plan is also cheaper than Heroku's.

I know that the idea behind using PaaS sites during the curriculum is that we shouldn't be looking to pay for anything we make while following ToP though. So maybe we can keep Adaptable around until other free tier options can be added?

(Initially posted this under the wrong issue. >_<)

Frustrating, given that besides the credit card verification step, it has the most generous free tier of the options.

Personally, I feel it's time for adaptable to go since our lesson lists its recommended PaaS options, and I can't in good faith recommend a paid-only service as part of a free curriculum. In #28491, Fly.io was recently removed for the same reason.

We still have Render, Railway and Koyeb for servers/dbs and Neon for dbs, which is still sufficient so far for the curriculum. We will likely need to reconsider how this part for deployment is approached, but that's a bigger and separate discussion.
