Best FREE way to deploy a full-stack web app in 2026?
Hi everyone,
I'm a 3rd-semester BCA student and I'm building a full-stack web application to improve my development skills. I'm looking for the best way to deploy both the frontend and backend completely for free.
My tech stack:
Frontend: React/Vite
Backend: Node.js/Express
Database: MongoDB (or PostgreSQL)
I'm looking for:
Free deployment
GitHub auto deployment
Custom domain support (optional)
Beginner-friendly setup
Good for learning and portfolio projects
I've heard about Cloudflare Pages, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, Netlify, Render, Railway, Supabase, and Firebase, but I'm not sure which combination is the best in 2026.
What would you recommend? If you know any good YouTube tutorials or documentation, please share them.
Thanks in advance!
