Hosted Raspberry Pi Servers (Free) in the Rx Beta
rx.run
rx.run
rx is a lightweight CLI and runtime that lets you deploy any function instantly as you save it in your editor. It’s fast, simple, and takes care of setting up all your cloud infrastructure.
Currently I personally host ~20 or so web and scheduled applications on a Raspberry Pi. It just runs in a closet, has a fan on it to keep it cool, and is super fast. I basically never check on it. It is locked down for security, has scripts to automatically run services on restart, and to keep stuff updated.
Way better than dealing with EC2 or Lambda. Lets me ship stuff fast, THEN I can think about scaling later and paying for expensive cloud services and databases (after ACTUALLY having users).
I want more people to experience this! You don't need cloud and microservices and Kubernetes (come on) for everything.

- It'll be hosted in our data center in the USA. - It will have 4GB RAM, 20+GB SSD, super fast internet, and lots of bandwidth.
Like getting a Digital Ocean Droplet or an EC2. Except we're hosting it for you for free and you can deploy as many applications as you want to it.
