Comment on Show HN: Deta – A cloud platform for building and deploying appsComments−yewenjie6yHi, thanks for posting this. I have two simple lightweight use cases and I would like to know if those fit to this platform or not.1. A simple Python script with two-three dependencies that needs to be run everyday once. Basically I am looking for a crontab in the cloud.2. A very lightweight script that needs to be run 24/7 and would not consume more than few MBs of RAM ever.None of these two needs an HTTP endpoint.−abdelhaiOP6y1.

Can you please point that out to me?−muhammadusman6yLooks like you can get this accomplished with a Heroku instance or a digitalOcean box. I current have a script that runs 24/7 on DigitalOcean that costs me $5/month (might not work for you if you're looking for a free solution).−Shared4046yLinode also has a 5$ tier. No issues with them thus far.
