Meet shuttle, an open source, Rust-native platform for deploying apps with zero infra hassle. Built by a distributed YC-backed team.
In order to deploy your app, all it takes is one annotation on your main function and you're good to go!
At this point, we support most of the major Rust web frameworks such as; Axum, Rocket, Tide, Poem & Tower.
And we’ve recently added support for Serenity, a Rust library for the Discord API — so you can even build & deploy Discord bots, for free.
A lot of Discord bot creators were sad with the recent news of Heroku scrapping the free tiers so if anyone is curious about Rust; and is a Discord bot creator; this is the perfect place and time to be! :)

Our repository has a couple of examples per framework/library enabling you to get started in under 5 minutes so feel free to pick one and give it a go (https://github.com/shuttle-hq/shuttle/tree/main/examples)!
We are in alpha so constructive criticism and feedback are extra welcome!
I'm impressed that people can make free tiers like this work. Scaling N*$0 for N*(non-trivial work) is tough, even if you have M*$P in the background.
I wonder if these free tiers might be better off with something "almost free" like a token $1/year so you're getting people used to being charged.
It makes me want to try writing a basic Discord bot, just to play with the solution, so thanks for providing it for free !
No worries!
