Wanted to start a conversation about where people in this community are hosting their testing infrastructure, automation dashboards, reporting apps, and anything else that needs to be deployed and accessible.
A lot of teams I know started on Heroku because the deployment was simple enough that testers and QA engineers could manage it without needing a DevOps engineer involved. That simplicity was genuinely valuable.
With Heroku’s pricing changes and the Enterprise tier situation, a lot of those same teams are looking around. The options that come up most are Render and Railway for simple apps, and Kuberns for anything that needs to stay running reliably in production.
Kuberns is the one I have personal experience with and the deployment story is particularly relevant for testing teams. It is an agentic AI deployment platform so the entire deployment process is automated by an AI agent. You connect your repo and it handles everything from build to production without manual configuration. For teams where deployment is not the core skill, that matters a lot.
The cost is also considerably lower than Heroku which helps when justifying infrastructure spend for tooling that is not directly revenue-generating.
Would be interested to hear what others in the community are running on and what has worked.
