Platforms For Your Future Apps
A curated collection of platforms that offers an infrastructure and support for your apps.
BitBucket
A Git remote repo hosting service similar to GitHub and GitLab.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Free Tier
Offers a plethora of benefits and a year worth of their premium pay-as-you-go services.
Firebase
A platform as a service backed by Google. Provides integration with built-in database, crash reporting, authentication, cloud storage, and so much more. The free-tier service from here is quite generous though it needs a bit of extra steps to integrate your app with it (I think).
GitHub
It's the most popular remote Git repository hosting service right now. Also includes a code sharing tool and a lot of integrated services.
Personal comment:
You have GitHub Pages which at the very least can serve static files pretty well.
GitLab
Includes unlimited
bladefree privated repos and an integrated continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) services.Personal comment:
Like GitHub, they also provide GitLab Pages which can serve static files.

Personally recommend it for your hobby projects especially if you're looking for a platform for the backend of your apps.
Heroku
Easy to deploy system for backend of your apps. Supports a wide variety of tech stacks such as for Python, PHP, Node, and Ruby on Rails.

Netlify
Their free options is pretty much amazing for static websites.

Personal comment:
Perfect platform for your apps, if you're into releasing your apps for the sake of educating yourself.

A platform for your upcoming open source software projects.
Zeit Now
A global serverless deployment platform for your cloud-based applications. It has tight integration with GitHub, supports a variety of server-sided languages and frameworks such as PHP, Python, Go, and Node.js. It offers a generous free tier and you only get to pay as your app grow.

Integration with this is also somewhat of a pain but it's very worth if you're looking for a generous free tier platform service.
