Powerfull and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Probably the simplest PaaS on the market that I have tested.
I tested Virtuozzo, Heroku, AWS, ... but nothing satisfied me for a decent cost. Render ticks all the boxes.
The high availability, the security, the community and the low price convinced me to use it in production and I don't regret it.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have only been using it for a short time, but I haven't found any major flaws yet.
I miss for the moment a maintenance mode to disable my website with a custom page

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can focus on the code. Render manages all the complexity of the release and the infrastructure.
I can roll back if a release doesn't work well, the server restarts automatically if an error occurs... I can go home with a clear head

Unclear charges.
What do you like best about the product?
Others find it good, so I guess it might be, but it's not for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
They need to fix the pricing descriptions. I had one failed deployment that in Google Cloud and Azure is not charged, but was charged in Render.com. Also the pricing says 90 days free PostgreSQL, but was charged at the end of the first month. Also github integration was taking too long to be completed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instant deployment
Render was a breeze to set up and seems like great alternative to Heroku so far
What do you like best about the product?
- super easy setup with Github integration
- team seems invested for the long haul and responsive to user feedback

What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish cron jobs weren't billed separately! But I get it...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need an easy way to host my app and Render is helping me do that with the least possible headache
Incredible price effective heroku alternative
What do you like best about the product?
I like the access to private disks that are not available in Heroku, as well as a Signapore region closer to my customers. Heroku only has Europe and NA.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of 24/7 support, and slow reply on the community forums, lack of support in comparison since it is relatively new
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving my business money on hosting per month. Allowing closer regions to host for my customers.
Render is very easy to use, trustworthy and scalable.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, especially with deployments & scalability. I can put autoscaling on or optionally scale instances myself from the service settings. Variety of potential services has also proven useful (private services, background workers, cronjobs etc)
What do you dislike about the product?
As of writing this review, render's PostgreSQL's high availability mode is missing, but I understand it's currently under work. You can deploy a follower node, but it doesn't have automatic failover.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Render is a modern Heroku alternative. It makes reliable deployments & hosting available for everybody. I can personally spend more time coding the product rather than spend time with deployment & hosting.
Render review from Flaut.ru development team
What do you like best about the product?
UI simplicity, excellent and comprehensive documentation in a single place, responsive support and a roadmap with up/down voting support
What do you dislike about the product?
Not so many regions just yet, no SLA just yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifying deployment process and saving our hosting budget
VERY RISKY CLOUD
What do you like best about the product?
easy to deploy many scripts like wordpress and ghost
What do you dislike about the product?
their snapshots are not reliable, one day I tried to restore a snapshot of my services IDs:
mysql-wordpress-48ha
wordpress-48ha
after 10 days of negotiations with customer service and the community they told me this:
Hi Anass, unfortunately the restore process for MySQL databases (and therefore WordPress sites) might have required more explicit backup requirements.
BTW, even they don't give us root access, and the SSH key didn't allow us to connect to external backup service provider
+360 days +4000$ in the trash, I'm damaged literally

fast deploy scripts
Easy to deploy and free platform
What do you like best about the product?
This platform is easily one of the best platforms I've ever used, the interface is really handy and the whole service is useful for getting you the best experience with deployments without having to have a DevOps course or a professional for that. One thing I have to say is that the documentation of the platform is very comprehensible and helpful. Can´t forget that unlike other platforms this platform doesn´t block you at anything asking for your credit card unless you have to pay for that. This platform is awesome for small or big projects, I'm enjoying it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't have any problems with the platform yet, I think the prices are very accessible and didn´t have any problems that I needed to contact the support team or anything like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, I have an open-source project that's starting to take form and render is helping me afford all the costs of hosting it, one of the objectives of the project was being easy to deploy and render did actually really help me
Managing AWS ECR Actions, Events & Logs using Render CLI & provisioning Zero-Downtime Deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Render dashboard gives excellent features to create & manage IaC services and moderates our infrastructure whenever we push changes to our production environment. We can create new instances which are customizable through its Blueprint Spec feature. It also has excellent resource discovery provisions for our existing resources and we can incorporate changes in them to synchronize our cloud services with Render YAML scripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
We can set up cron jobs through our GitHub repositories in the Render platform. We define the runtime environment based on our needs and drop our cron job code in the branch of our repository. We need to specify whether the cron job requires background workers or not, else the job execution will be stopped if it runs for more than 12 hours. It doesn't have any downside to be mentioned based on its platform service provided for our AWS environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We initiate our Amazon ECR code push from our GitHub Enterprise repository and link packages & API dependencies for our zero-downtime deployments. Its Health Check automatically restarts our applications if they are unresponsive or return errors. We can also enable its Auto deploy option to trigger new deploy whenever we push our code. Render CLI is effective to track our job execution status on a real-time basis, overview events & action items for our Amazon Elastic Container Registry service.
Managing Evict Policies, Read Replica Performance for our PostgreSQL & Redis Instances with Render
What do you like best about the product?
Render's bandwidth allocation for our DB instances is great as it allows upto 100GB per month in Egress configurations. Whenever we experience variable load, it offers scalability features which can be both manual scaling or autoscaling. Monitoring of these scaling instances can be simply done in its Events tab present in its service dashboard. It also provides a load balancer in front of our instances so that it distributes our network request traffic evenly to our web services.
What do you dislike about the product?
None actually. It automatically performs our build & deploys instances which Git repository webhooks can define. We can schedule our service deployments using its cron jobs effortlessly. We can trigger our builds for our static web applications from its CMS systems without adding headers or additional authentication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can create Redis instances that Render totally manages, thereby promoting secure & reliable services. It supports high throughput with low latency reads & writes, which is flexible for our caches & datastores. PostgreSQL deployments are also feasible as Render ensures essentialities such as encryption at rest, backup automation, and scalable SSD storage. We provision read-only access for database instances using Read Replica policy to reduce the workload on our primary database & to have better database administrative control.
