Fellow tooters: What's the best way these days to deploy a simple Python app with a simple writeable database (bonus if it works with sqlite, which I know you can't use with eg Vercel or Heroku)?

The use case is a classroom environment. Ideally not a Docker setup, because I don't think at this stage you'd want to explain containerization to people.

The answer to this used to be Heroku's free tier, but without it they're a bit pricey I think.

Any ideas?
