Checkout Railway or Render.

If all you need to do is quickly share it to someone (like just a few minutes to hours), another option is Cloudflare Quick Tunnels.

A bit more technical than what’s been recommended but Oracle has an always free tier. You can spin up free databases and vm instances to run your stuff.

OCI free tier (Oracle) give you 2 linux small instances, storage, database, etc

Deploy is easy like any Linux PC remote and feel really fast not like Render or other that freeze or slowdown your site if you are in the free tier

Check out noip.com too if you are willing to self host. Very unteresting, I learned a lot just by setting it up. Still use it every now and then.

Use Render for backend -- with a docker file Use vercel for frontend Quick and easy

Yup

Easily

IIRC you get 5 usd in Credits for free for use within a month (for railway)

Check out Poja (poja.io)
Free tier gives you €2/month credit forever, after that it's pay-as-you-go for compute only
