IBM Cloud Code Engine free hosting

IBM Cloud Code Engine

Low-traffic Docker web API, webhook worker or short batch job deployed from an agent or CLI.

Facts

Free allowance
100,000 vCPU-seconds/month
Plan limits
200,000 GB-seconds + 100,000 HTTP requests/month · scale to zero
Storage
Container storage is ephemeral. Durable database or object storage is a separate service and can incur charges.
Account
IBM Cloud Pay-As-You-Go account required, including credit-card verification.
Retention
No finite Free allocation expiration; running app scales to zero when idle; app resource deletion due to inactivity not separately established.
Custom domain
Free platform appdomain.cloud endpoint. IBM documents mapping an owned custom domain, but no separate explicit proof that domain mapping is charge-free under the monthly allowance; freeDomain unknown.
Password protection
HTTP/API authentication and TLS/domain secrets are separate from shared visitor-password protection, which is unverified.
Billing
Every month 100,000 vCPU-seconds, 200,000 GB-seconds, 100,000 incoming HTTP requests at no charge; overages bill automatically on Pay-As-You-Go account. Additional services may bill.
Execution
Code Engine apps serve HTTP, jobs run batch code and functions run on demand; scalable to zero, not guaranteed always-running with minimum 0.

Worth knowing

IBM requires a card-backed Pay-As-You-Go account, and automatically bills CPU, memory and request use beyond the allowances. Not a no-risk hard-cap Free account.

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.
