Data pipelines
Combine filters →A pipeline runs on a schedule, holds data in memory, and cares about how long a process may run and how much it may allocate — limits that page-oriented hosting sets low and rarely advertises. Providers marketing this usually offer worker instances, generous timeouts and somewhere to keep intermediate files. Serverless platforms are a poor fit unless the work fits inside their execution limit.

Who is the best host for data pipelines?
We can't tell from here. A host that suits a small agency site can be wrong for an API with users in Asia and Europe. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it. The guide covers what to compare.
