mysql free deployment platforms
I am working on a personal chat-app project with no intentions for it to be a production app (maybe in the far future not so sure ) I am gonna use mysql with prisma , node js , socket io for the backend. I have researched for platforms to deploy my
mysql database however pretty much every platform i came across didn't have a free plan , I have no intention to spend money on this project it's only for my portfolio here are the platforms i have seen : plantscale , render , railway , awardspace and some other platforms that i don't remember7 Replies
idk why it's always postgres that most of the time has a free tier on these platforms but it's not the case for mysql
because Postgres is what's used in most by professional deployments. Mysql is nearly always self-hosted.
is there a reason for that ?
Lots of them, but most don't matter till you scale.
and mysql is much easier, and better for smaller projects
can you tell me these reasons
