Hi,

Since I published my app, I have been using Heroku for the hosting. However, I have not been a fan of the fact that there is downtime for every 30 minutes of inactivity on the free version of Heroku. Is there any other free ways to host a Dash app that will eliminate this downtime and still allow me to use custom domains?

Thanks

Google Cloud Run has the feature you are asking for but I have no idea if its free or not.
