With the Openshift Bronze plan, do I still get 3 free small gears but no idling?

Question

I'm now running a small plugin backend on the free plan, but sometimes it idles and takes 20+ sec to start. If I upgrade to the bronze plan, will it never idle then? And do I get to keep the 3 free gears?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I've upgraded to the bronze plan over 1.5 years ago to overcome the free plan restrictions. It is really an upgrade without disadvantages. You still get 3 free gears, and the applications never idle due to inactivity.

Additionally you may benefit from

• custom SSL certificates for own domains
• up to 16 gears (e.g. useful when you have 2 apps and 1 jenkins server, you need temporary jenkins slaves for builds)
• different gear sizes
• additional storage options
• manage teams
