me. tried to move to render but it's been a headache for some key things that i need. my heroku setup is dialed in so it makes it a no brainer versus the time i've wasted trying to get render to fit my use case. right now i'm using both for two different services, and will consider moving off both once i get enough customers.

What are you trying to do on Render? We have some stuff in the works and I'd love to find a way to help.

  Nothing sophisticated. My woes might be because I'm bad at devops. But I spent several hours fighting with a DNS change, trying to host my marketing website as Cloudflare pages site from my root domain (with DNS managed by Cloudflare), and then wildcard subdomains routed to a Render server. I couldn't get it to work no matter what configs I tried. My root domain marketing site is proxied through Cloudflare and I was trying to get the wildcard subdomains as DNS-only, and I suspect this was the problem but idk. In other words, the Cloudflare pages marketing site is https://bookhead.net https://bookhead.net and I wanted my customer's subdomains to route to the Render server like https://forlornbooks.bookhead.net/ https://forlornbooks.bookhead.net/ (I still get the error since I haven't finished my migration to Heroku). The subdomains worked with no problem until I tried to setup a separate marketing site at the root domain. Also, I had a hard time setting up SSH with a containerized server. It was a weird DX that was a bit confusing to document so I can remember later. Can only imagine how confusing it might be if I ever have teammates. The Render CLI looks promising, though. These are only the most recent issues. Seems like y'all improved the headaches I ran into the time I tried.
