This is great. Lets you run a full time server for free. Display a hobby website or a development site or whatever. Thats amazing! No one else offers this "always", right?

Note that the Always Free offers includes only a small amount of egress traffic per month per service. e.g.: 1GB for GCE/GCS.

IBM Bluemix has a very generous free tier, enough to run a few web apps for free.

From my quick glance it looks like Bluemix is only a 30 day trial though. :/

> SLEEPS AFTER 30 MINS OF INACTIVITY

Yeah, I don't think that really counts.

You can trivially bypass that with an infinite loop:

    while true; do sleep 1; done
