🔄 Keep Server Alive Guide

🚨 Problem: Free hosting services sleep after inactivity

Render, Railway, और अन्य free hosting services आपके server को 15 minutes inactivity के बाद sleep mode में डाल देती हैं।

✅ Solutions Implemented:

1. Health Check Endpoint

GET /api/health
  • Server status check करने के लिए
  • Response: { status: 'healthy', timestamp: '...', uptime: 123 }

2. External Ping Services (Recommended)

UptimeRobot (Free - Best Option)

  1. Visit: https://uptimerobot.com
  2. Sign up for free account
  3. Add monitor:
    • Type: HTTP(s)
    • URL: https://your-app.onrender.com/api/health
    • Interval: 5 minutes
  4. ✅ Your server will never sleep!

Cron-job.org (Free Alternative)

  1. Visit: https://cron-job.org
  2. Create free account
  3. Add cronjob:
    • URL: https://your-app.onrender.com/api/health
    • Schedule: */14 * * * * (every 14 minutes)

3. Self-Ping Script (Local)

# Run locally to keep server alive
node keep-alive.js

🎯 Best Practice:

Use UptimeRobot - यह सबसे reliable है और आपको email alerts भी देता है अगर server down हो जाए।

  • UptimeRobot dashboard से server uptime देख सकते हैं
  • Email notifications मिलेंगे अगर कोई issue हो

⚡ Quick Setup:

  1. Deploy your app on Render
  2. Copy the URL

  4. Done! ✅ Server हमेशा alive रहेगा
