https://render.com/

Try it, it's free but will spin off the server after inactivity, so when you run the app there might be delay of upto 1 minute till the server starts up again automatically.

You can use github to deploy your node.js app

You can usually get cheapest VPS for 3-5 usd almost anywhere in the world, something like ubuntu with 10 gb of space, 1 core, 1 gb of ram. If you're making a POC/proto it is usually enough.

There are free tier subscriptions to some services, but usually they have limitations that make them useful for nothing but development.

You can also try using aws - I believe there is a free tier for 6 months, but after that you have to pay. I also believe it requires a credit card to be attached to start using it.

You didn't mentioned what you're current setup looks like. If the only issue is that you have to start server manually, you can fix it by setting it up your app as a process. You can use external tools like nssm on windows, or pm2 npm package on linux.

Lol. If you are hosting your smart door lock backend on glitch, the average door lock is probably smarter than you.

I dont think that glitch works on coppercube because i tried it many times with each being a failure.
