`up` looks like it only runs on AWS. This seems nice as the only requirement is docker and I can run it on my $3USD VPS

Yep it uses AWS Lambda currently, you'll usually end up paying < $1 for small side projects such as https://gh-polls.com/ etc, but it definitely depends on your traffic.

This project looks like it's more FaaS style (sans the self-healing / autoscaling etc). Up is more application oriented, it just happens to use Lambda.

Where do you get such a cheap VPS? I'm paying $5!

I've had good experiences with Vultr as well. I'm surprised they're not more popular.

Joyent offers very small and very efficient instances. I haven't paid $5 per instance in years.
