(Render founder) Hi HN, we built our managed Redis service for people who already use Render to host their apps. You can of course use it from outside Render, but ideally you'd use the Redis internal URL (e.g. redis://red-longuniqueidhere:6379) in your code that's also running on Render.
- samwillis 5y agoHi, love what Render are doing, the one thing holding me back from migrating to you from Heroku is Postgres “point in time” backup restore using the write ahead log. Having used it just once before with Heroku it’s indispensable. The minute you add it we will be making the move. I know it’s on your radar but just want to give a nudge.
- anurag 5y agoCoincidentally, we just had a scoping meeting for Render Postgres v2. PITR/HA are both top of mind.
- seagreen 5y agoI've been hearing fantastic things about Render. One concern I have is about the trajectory of the company-- for example there was a time when Heroku was a great bet, then it got sold and stalled. What are the most convincing points you can give for why Render won't follow a similar path?
- anurag 5y agoInterestingly, Heroku improved and grew quite a bit after the acquisition (2010), but ultimately, getting acquired was a personal/financial decision for the founders: https://twitter.com/_adamwiggins_/status/1334595789201563649 https://twitter.com/_adamwiggins_/status/1334595789201563649 I'm very happy to share my own acquisition calculus over email (in profile).
