Yes I deployed a django application to render w/ a couple of additional services: database, 2x background workers and redis. Overall the experience was positive but I feel that it tries too hard to have a "simple" UX which ended up annoying me in the end. I would use it again but I didn't "love" it. I have a feeling it will be pretty good long term. Here are some annoyances I had:
- Environment previews don't always work, hard to easily switch between services running in environment previews
- Slow deploys because it rebuilds the docker image every time, no way to connect it to a registry
- Documentation is shallow, especially when things get technical or complex related to their "blueprints"
- Ran into a bug with their environment groups
- They proxy through cloudflare and had some intermittent issues
- Zero downtime deploy wasn't actually zero downtime
- anurag 5y agoThis is valid and helpful feedback; it also validates our priorities because we have ongoing projects to address each of these points.
