[SOLVED] Parse server on Render is sleeping after 15 minutes inactivity

Moralis General
#1

Hello,
Iā€™m using Renderā€™s web service for Moralis parse server but itā€™s sleeping after 15 minutes of inactivity.
For passing this limit i have to buy premium but i donā€™t want it for now.
Is there any Render alternative without inactivity based sleeping?(freemium of course)
Thank you in advance!

Hi @blockchaindeveloper

You can try the railway hosting service. It has a free plan option.

Thank you!
I tried Railway but getting this error and server crashes:

Were you able to build and run this project on localhost?

#5

And I think there is no ngrok dependency as per the parse-server-migration github repo.
Are you using ngrok anywhere in the project code?

#6

Yes, definetely!
I can build and run on Render too.

#7

I donā€™t think so, because i didnā€™t modify the main code and never added new dependency.

#8

Ah okay! Problem was ā€œnode_modulesā€ folder :slight_smile:
I deleted node_modules from repo and re-deployed the server, everything is fine now.
