🏆 RECOMMENDED: Keep-Alive Service (Prevent Sleep)

For services that sleep (Render, Glitch), use a keep-alive service:

UptimeRobot (Free)

1. Go to https://uptimerobot.com
2. Add New Monitor
3. Monitor Type: HTTP(s)
4. URL: Your deployed API URL
5. Monitoring Interval: 5 minutes

This pings your API every 5 minutes to keep it awake!

🎯 My Recommendation for You:

Deploy to Railway.app + Render.com
