Body

I'm working on a project with the following tech stack:
Backend: Spring Framework (Java 21)
Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap
Currently, I'm exploring hosting options that would best support this stack. Ideally, I’m looking for a platform that offers scalability, reliability, and good support for both Java and front-end technologies.
If anyone has suggestions, experiences, or recommendations for hosting services that work well with this setup, I’d really appreciate your input!
Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

For your frontend (HTML, CSS, JS, Bootstrap), you could easily host it on GitHub Pages or Vercel. Both are great, free options with simple deployment processes. Vercel even provides automatic CI/CD pipelines, which is nice if you're pushing updates frequently.

For the backend (Spring Java 21), you can check out Heroku or Railway. Both platforms offer free tiers with quick deployment for Java apps. Heroku is very straightforward for Java Spring apps, while Railway is newer but also provides great developer experience with easy integrations and scalability options.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further info or tips on setting them up!

You can start the project on a local server with xampp and progress the development process.

For a Spring Boot backend + static frontend, you’ve got solid free/affordable options:

Backend: Try Render (free tier for Java), Railway (free credits), or Heroku (free with limitations). For more control, Oracle Cloud Always Free (ARM VMs) or fly.io (free allowances) work well.

Frontend: Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages are fine.

For free or low-cost hosting, I'd suggest:
Backend (Spring): Render or Heroku , both have free tiers and are pretty easy to set up.
Frontend: Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages ,great for static sites and support auto-deploy from GitHub.

If you ever need to scale up, AWS, GCP, or Azure are solid choices, but they can get pricey.

Starting with Render + Vercel/Netlify usually works really well.

Hi @maradona-mirin, thanks for being a part of the GitHub Community!

The Projects & Issues category is meant for discussions regarding GitHub Project boards and GitHub Issues in a repository. I will be moving your post to Programming Help, as it may be more relevant there and might help someone give you a nudge in the right direction 😄
