Why heroku kills my process with status 143?

I've small app(git) on node on Heroku that works with api for vk.com(social network), but Heroku kills it with SIGTERM after 30 min. I use setInterval which sends request to vk.com server and processes the response once every 20 min: 

var timerID = setInterval( function reposting() {


  vk.executes("wall.get", [
     {owner_id: -97758272, count: 1, extended: true},
     {owner_id: -109933725, offset: 1, count:1, extended: true}
  ])
  .then((wall_list) => {
     wall_list.forEach(function(wall, index) {
        repost_and_join(wall, index);
     });
  })
  .catch((error) => {
     console.log("WALL_GET_ERROR: "+error);
  });

}, 600000);

How to fix this problem, or maybe you know another free hosting where can deploy an app like this? ERRORLOG: errorlog

Just add something like this in your code: 

var reqTimer = setTimeout(function wakeUp() {
   request("https://nameless-gorge-19527.herokuapp.com", function() {
      console.log("WAKE UP DYNO");
   });
   return reqTimer = setTimeout(wakeUp, 1200000);
}, 1200000);

Free dynos are unique because they go to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity.

From Heroku devcenter

Are you using free dynos by any chance?

If you're looking for a free service, maybe give aws lambda a try? They give you 1M free call per month i think, IIRC
