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.
17 providers market themselves for data pipelines, listed alphabetically. Across 39 countries, commonest entry price $5 to $15 a month. 53 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
