"Simplify Your App and Website Deployments with Render's Cloud Platform"
What do you like best about Render?

Enjoy quick and easy scalability with Render, which allows you to adjust your application resources on the fly without the need for manual server management or infrastructure upkeep. Protect your application from unauthorized access with Render's security features, which include free SSL certificates and private networking options. Keep costs low while still getting powerful cloud deployment features with Render, which offers competitive pricing and a variety of free services to help make deploying your web apps and sites more affordable.

What do you dislike about Render?

Render's limited language support may pose an issue for developers who favor languages other than Node.js, Python, Ruby, or Go. Although Render's built-in services can be time-saving, they may not offer the flexibility and customization options provided by third-party services, which may be a drawback if your application has unique requirements.

What problems is Render solving and how is that benefiting you?

Render is tackling the challenge of simplifying the deployment and management of web applications and websites in the cloud for both developers and teams. It achieves this by offering a user-friendly interface that allows developers to sidestep the complexities of setting up infrastructure, configuring servers, and managing network security, tasks that can be time-consuming and require a high degree of technical proficiency. By using Render, developers can concentrate on developing their applications while the platform handles the infrastructure and server management for them.

"Powerfull and easy to use"
What do you like best about Render?

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 Render?

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 Render 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

"Incredible price effective heroku alternative"
What do you like best about Render?

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 Render?

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 Render solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saving my business money on hosting per month. Allowing closer regions to host for my customers.

"Simpler than Heroku and without scaling limitations"
What do you like best about Render?

Very easy to set up and deploy. Deploy is just a push to your repository.

What do you dislike about Render?

I have been using it for a year or so and so far I have not found anything I don't like. Maybe paid support for people or companies who really want it? They may already have it. I don't like how generic the name is (Render). It makes it difficult to recommend it to people.

What problems is Render solving and how is that benefiting you?

Deploying a Ruby on Rails application very easily and with options to scale it at a reasonable price if needed.

"Render Is Amazing Review"
What do you like best about Render?

Automatic Deployment, Flat Pay Model, Ease of Managed PostgreSQL Database Service. Intuitive UI and Dashboard controls,

What do you dislike about Render?

It would help if Render were more widely known. We stumbled after multiple struggles with AWS and it would have saved us a lot of time as a young startup to have used Render from the beginning to minimize development time.

What problems is Render solving and how is that benefiting you?

Render is helping us reduce development time significantly by managing automatic deployment. In addition, the managed database service is hassle-free and enables us to focus on adding features rather than database backups, etc. Plus, the flay pay model leads to predictable pricing, which is paramount for a young startup to avoid server spike-related costs.

"Deploying websites and apps on Render is a no-brainer"
What do you like best about Render?

I've worked in this field for decades and I've done it all. Used Heroku. Used AWS. Used DigitalOcean. Used my own bare metal servers. Used "shared hosting". Used top Jamstack hosts like Netlify and Vercel. Render has jumped to top of the field in my opinion. Deploying new websites and applications on Render is a breeze, the price is most certainly right, and the support crew there is fantastic.

What do you dislike about Render?

There are a few "niceties" I miss currently when using Render, such as direct SSH (you have to use their web console), managed Redis (you have to deploy via a one-off container), or built-in object storage. But they're adding new features at a rapid clip. I expect it won't be long before they're competitive across the board.

What problems is Render solving and how is that benefiting you?

Host static sites, Ruby applications, databases—the works. Unless you have very specialized or demanding needs, Render will get the job done.

"Simple deployment for my whole stack"
What do you like best about Render?

I love how quickly the automated builds are, and how simple it was to get set up after moving from Heroku and other providers. I think the expansion of their features into cron-jobs and the likes, coupled with their super competitive pricing - they feel like the best provider to build on for my applications. The abstractions they have created for getting set up means I'm not wasting time trying to figure everything out. Their documentation & step-by-step guides have helped me get started quickly and now I've been using Render for a little over 8 months. Overall I recommend them highly and look forward to what they expand to over the coming year!

What do you dislike about Render?

Sometimes the UI around deployments isn't as smooth as It could be - mostly around updating the state of the deployment without refreshing. I also think that the logs could be presented in a clearer way - it doesn't feel like the most modern logging UI. These are minor though to the benefits I get.

What problems is Render solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lightning-fast deployments and implementation of new services - it's so simple to start up a node application and be running live with an SSL certificate and custom domain.

"Render is the cloud platform for happy developers"
What do you like best about Render?

I moved all my web services and Static sites from places like Heroku and Netlify because Render just works and gives me rest. The pricing is transparent and affordable for indie makers like me who want to build out my ideas and not break the bank with accumulated billings(looking at you, Heroku). Render also focus on developer love by giving you tools to make sure you deploy your code with rest. Look at something like Environment variable groups; for example, let's you create a reusable fgroup of environment variables that you can use in both staging and production. This simple feature, as it may seem, has saved me a whole lot of time redefining environment variables.

What do you dislike about Render?

I don't dislike anything about Render, to be honest. Everything works great. Sure there is always room for improvement, but no deal-breaker for me!

What problems is Render solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quickly deploying all my web services and web sites
