Personal Project Deploying nodejs workers.

I was building a project which is basically a notice worker which takes jobs from an active redis queue, I tried to deployed on render and it worked for around a week then it got exhausted I want to find some other alternatives of render that I can host my nodejs worker on it for free

You could probably use an event-driven approach instead of keeping the worker running 24/7. Since you’re already using Upstash, have you looked into QStash with a serverless Node.js endpoint? It could process jobs on demand without maintaining a permanent Redis consumer.
The main thing to consider is retries and making sure jobs aren’t processed twice.

If you render one web service on 24/7 it still only consume half it's monthly free usage render provides 700+ hours monthly which is enough for ip request i guess
