DigitalOcean Functions free hosting

DigitalOcean Functions

Webhooks, lightweight Node/Python/Go/PHP API logic, scheduled background tasks within compute allowance.

Facts

Free allowance
90,000 GiB-seconds/month
Plan limits
Free compute shared across account/team; 100 ms minimum metered duration per invocation; no flat request fee; excess GiB-seconds billed.
Storage
Function source bundle size restricted (see Functions limits); no durable file storage allowance included with Functions Free.
Account
DigitalOcean team with a payment method on file is required to create cloud resources.
Retention
Functions run only on invocation and do not provide continuously running processes; namespace/inactivity deletion policy not documented.
Custom domain
A DigitalOcean-hosted function URL; custom domain connection for standalone Free Functions not established.
Password protection
Access keys can secure functions; a shared viewer password for hosted pages is not a documented Free entitlement.
Billing
The 90,000 GiB-second allowance is shared per team each month, including App Platform function components. Automatic overages cost $0.0000185 per GiB-second. App Platform and other resources can carry separate charges.
Execution
On-demand Node.js, Python, Go or PHP functions. The maximum timeout is 15 minutes including initialization. Deploy via the Functions MCP tooling or doctl.

Worth knowing

Payment method required; overages are billed automatically. The allowance is memory multiplied by runtime, not an invocation count. App Platform bandwidth or other services may cost extra.

How we match

Choose the kind of thing you made and the features you need. The results respond to the capabilities recorded in our directory.

Each result explains its fit or mismatch. Unverified commercial-use permission is marked for a terms check. Unknown free features don’t count as confirmed fits.

Apps can run in the browser, as serverless functions, or on a persistent server. For apps, choose a runtime. For AI agents, choose an agent service, MCP server, or code sandbox. For sites and files, choose web pages or file links. A sandbox or serverless endpoint is not a continuously running process. In each group, select several to see hosts that support any selected option. Leave them blank to explore broadly; your agent can check the runtime before publishing. Docs & media candidates also need an exact file-format and size check. Commercial mode removes records with documented personal or non-production restrictions; it does not certify permission on other hosts.

Open a host to read its limits and sources. The agent brief packages your choices and those limits into instructions you can paste into your agent. It does not publish anything.

Each record has its own review date (October 11–November 14, 2026); deployments, privacy, support, and uptime have not been tested. There are no paid placements or affiliate links in this edition.
