Network separation within the same team is on our near-term list.

Thank you. I agree that ask was a bit much for a lot of candidates; we updated our engineering interviews to be shorter and more manageable a few months ago.

(Render CEO) We're going to be hybrid and multi-cloud for the foreseeable future. We're reducing our reliance on GCP for some things, but I don't expect us to ever be AWS-only.

Hi folks, I'm the founder and CEO at Render. With this raise, the company is doubling down on making the cloud delightful for growing software teams who don't want to think about infrastructure. We're looking for great people

(Render CEO) What can Render do better?

Hi Dom! After more evaluation, we think your experience was a Virginia vs Ohio problem. Once we have Virginia set up (along with a few other things our teams talked about) I'd love for y'all to give us another shot.

I shared your post with Render's engineering team and it got a lot of love because we know the struggle and can truly empathize because of our own Heroku-accelerated growth. What Fly and Render are doing is hard, but someone needs to

(Render founder) I'd love to understand why you think this is the only outcome. Render has positive gross margin and a clear path to profitability based on both our growth so far and the tailwinds in this space. I'm also aware of

(Render founder) We're still on public clouds because even if it doesn't help with margins, it helps us move faster on features our customers want. It's all one big prioritization problem (and lots of little ones too!).

I hear you. As I'm sure you saw, the per-person fee is only for active team accounts; individuals/hobbyists still only pay for compute, and inactive teams don't pay anything. The team charge assigns a nominal value to the pro

(Render founder) It's really gratifying to see an article like this, because 'we get you as devs and want to build a great service for you' is exactly who we are.

>The problem with render is that it is too slow to build This is only true for the free tier, and (hopefully) won't be true for much longer.

We have fully-managed production-grade Redis now: https://render.com/docs/redis and we're also SOC 2 Type 2 compliant.

(Render CEO) Other than Postgres PITR and HA which are both in active development, are there other 'table stakes reliability features' on your list for Render?

It's getting better every day!

Pagecrypt does the same thing, but with the Web Crypto API. More (including a sample repo) at https://render.com/blog/static-site-auth-pagecrypt .

(Render CEO) We're actively working on Point-in-Time Recovery and hope to launch it in early access soon.

Glad to hear scaling went well! Maybe we should automatically ping you about the autoscaling option when your traffic spikes.

It depends on the customer, but the BAA is the most we've been asked for so far outside of our regular security practices.

Much appreciated. I'm sure we can do better on builds; stay tuned.

Glad to hear you're happy overall, and I want to add that we're working to address the things you mentioned. We also have paid 24/7 support with response and uptime SLAs: https://render.com/pricing#support I&

I'm sorry you ran into these issues and feel your frustration. The tl;dr is we hit completely unexpected scale overnight when Heroku's free tier news broke, and had to find and fix unpredictable bottlenecks quickly. We're in

Free tier deploys are slow (but not on purpose). We're planning to unify our free and paid architectures so builds are fast across the board.

(Render CEO) Very curious about the performance issue. Would you mind sharing details over email? (address in profile)

(Render CEO) We now offer a standard BAA for HIPAA compliance. Email support@render.com to get started.

All valid points. I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but we have Preview Environments[1] where every PR can have its own database. Happy to chat more over email (in profile). [1] https://render.com/docs&

We're going to start working on a release phase at Render in the next month. Stay tuned! We'll also update feedback.render.com.

Render does have auto deploys from GitHub/Lab so just `git push` is how people use us. Are you using a different Git host?
