Looking for Deployment Advice: MERN + TensorFlow.js FYP

I'm currently working on my FYP, which is built using MERN and TensorFlow.js. I'm at the stage where I need to deploy the full-stack web application and would appreciate some advice.

I'm looking for a reliable deployment platform that can host my full-stack web application for at least 1 month. Ideally, the platform can:

• Allow full-stack deployment
• Works well with the free Version MongoDB Atlas
• Handles base64 image data well

I came across Render’s Hobby Plan and it seems to fit what I need. However, I have a few concerns:

Are the monthly limits (like bandwidth, build minutes, and compute time) enough for a small project with light traffic?

Say after I deploy today, will I need to redeploy or upgrade after a month ?

Will Render keep the service running continuously for a month without issues?

Any advice or alternative suggestions would also be appreciated!

Answer

I'm currently working on my final year project using the MERN stack with TensorFlow.js, and things started getting tricky when it came time to deploy the full-stack web app. I initially tried setting everything up myself with Render’s free plan and MongoDB Atlas — it worked, but handling things like base64 image uploads and keeping the app awake (since free plans tend to sleep after inactivity) was a bit of a hassle.

I came across Read more, and while it’s not a hosting platform itself, they helped connect me with a developer who had experience working on similar stacks. We had a few flexible sessions together — they helped me clean up my backend a bit and showed me how to keep the server running smoothly on Render without upgrading to a paid plan.

What I appreciated was that they didn’t just do the work for me, they explained the deployment process in a way that made it easier for me to manage things on my own later.

So, if you’re doing a final year project and working with a similar stack, and just need a bit of practical guidance, I’d say TechHub is worth checking out. You don’t need to hire a full team — they’re pretty flexible with how they support you.
