Railway is great. Has PostgreSQL and two types of free tier: 1 with 500h/month usage, 1GB and 512MB RAM, and another one which you need to add a CC. If you stay under $5 of usage, it has no uptime limit, 100GB and 8GB RAM.

In 6h24min of idle uptime (0 usage), I had $0.0092, estimated a measly $0.81/month.

@zorjo From what I understood, people who are verified now will be free of the $5 billing of the new Developer plan. What I don't know is if it's forever or only for the first month.
