But something happened one or two years ago and now all the big problems of the teams I see seem so self-inflicted, my own team/company included.

It really doesn't matter what I want as my voice inside of our company doesn't count much and people really try to make all the silly mistakes possible...

Most of the time the devs of my company shoot themselves in the foot (not literally), but as a whole the company shoots itself in the head really.

I don't know what to do. I don't feel the energy anymore to do anything about it, really. I just gave up, and I am tremendously sad about it.

Is there some advice out there of what to do to get my "mojo" back?

- https://fly.io/pricing (requires credit card)

- https://northflank.com/pricing

- https://www.koyeb.com/pricing

Runners up:

- https://render.com/pricing (sleeps after 15 minutes, 30s spin-up)

- https://qoddi.com/#pricing (no custom domains)

- https://railway.app/pricing (only runs 500hrs/month, but doesn't require credit card)

- https://appliku.com/#pricing (only Django, no custom domains)

Note: Fly.io is the only one of these I have actually used. I like it so far. I plan to migrate my Heroku apps to Fly. Edit: just tried their automatic migration tool ( https://fly.io/launch/heroku ) and it works like a charm!
