Always up apps?

Glitch Help
1

Hello folks. I discovered and started my first project some weeks ago. Pretty happy with Glitch :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. At the time of writting, I am helping a friend with a simple server app that receives a web-hook, and sends a request to another server, and an email to her. That’s it. It works great, and I think it doesn’t worth the penies upgrading for this simple solution.

However, I have read that with the free starter plan, the apps go to sleep after 5 minutes. How does this affects my solution?

If it helps, this is the main file:

I am just worried about the server stop responding.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like the webhook sends a post request, so it should be fine (non-get requests don’y see the ‘waking up…’ screen), so long as the webhook sender doesn’t timeout after a very short period of time, since the project might take up to a couple ot minutes to wake up. But you’re probably fine.
