Details
Northflank's Developer Sandbox is a permanently free cloud plan for hobby projects and prototyping. It includes 2 services, 2 scheduled jobs, 1 database or add-on, and 1 self-hosted cloud runtime. All services run continuously without sleeping.
You can deploy from a Git repository or an OCI image (an image for running containers). It supports free security certificates and custom domains, and also provides API and command-line access. You can use Northflank's managed cloud or connect your own AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, CoreWeave, Civo, or physical server account.
When you connect your own cloud account, Northflank manages only the runtime environment. The cloud provider you connect will bill you for virtual machines, storage, and outbound data transfer. The free allowances are approximately 10GB of outbound data transfer, about 1M HTTP requests per month, 10GB of logs, and 10GB of metrics.
