Currently the api is not working.

Heroku stopped 🚫 supporting the free tier

@pprathameshmore are you planning to fix it? I would be opened to help

[pprathameshmore]

@mariofdezzz yes

[mariofdezzz]

Amazing! 👏🏼

@pprathameshmore if the fixing gonna take time then can you share your quotes database so we can also use it to host.

[Gameonn]

@pprathameshmore I can contribute in fixing the issue.

[pprathameshmore]

Sure @Gameonn

[Gameonn]

@pprathameshmore What options do we have? Should we use a different provider other than heroku?

[Patil-Tanmay]

@Gameonn We can try render.com but the issue is it has a high response time during cold start so we might need to write some cron jobs to keep the API alive at all times.

[Gameonn]

@Patil-Tanmay Does render.com offer free hosting? And would it be a good replacement for Heroku.

[Patil-Tanmay]

Yes @Gameonn it will be a better replacement for Heroku or we have one more site which is railway.app

[Gameonn]

@Patil-Tanmay Can you please share how can I help in migrating the existing server code to railway.app?

[Patil-Tanmay]

@Gameonn it's a straightforward process but the main issue here is getting the database that this repo uses and host it on your mongo db & then only you can host it on railway or on render. Link to the dataset to Host on your DB -> Link

[pprathameshmore]

I will try these platforms to deploy it.

[Patil-Tanmay]

One Issue with renderer @pprathameshmore is that cold start up time is too much. So to keep it alive it's better to write some cron jobs for it.

[pprathameshmore]

Sure
