(Render founder) The HN title doesn't reflect the title/content of the blog post, which is a launch announcement for fully managed Redis on Render. We didn't submit the post, so we'll need @dang to edit it.

We'll get there! We have 4 regions now, with a fifth one coming soon.

Clustering/HA is next on our list. We wanted to get the core release out quickly so customers can avoid mucking around with their own Redis container deploys.

Coincidentally, we just had a scoping meeting for Render Postgres v2. PITR/HA are both top of mind.

Our Redis offering is covered under the BSD-3 clause. We do not include Redis modules that need a Redis Labs license, but it isn't a problem in practice for the vast majority of Redis use cases (caching and queueing).

This means all hosted applications/APIs using Render's native environments have access to redis-cli in both the web shell and over SSH.

(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-l

(Render CEO) what kind of backend controls would you like in Render? FWIW, we now have 4 regions in GA and will continue to add more over time.

Do you need serverless functions?

Our customers at Render run Tailscale in user mode every day. Here's the repo they use: https://github.com/render-examples/tailscale . An example of using Tailscale to access VSCode in the cloud: https:/&#x2F

Thanks for pushing us at Render. We want to make sure we build it right (updating the dashboard without too much special casing is a bit more involved than a CLI update) but we're certainly on it, especially now that we have managed Re

This is a bug we need to fix right away! Any chance you could email me (address in profile) details?

Your comment made the CEO's day. CEO very happy.

We're getting there. Which features would tip the scales for you? (in the last 6 months we've added managed Redis, SSH access, DDoS protection, a public API, a free tier, an improved dashboard, one-off jobs, and more: https:&#x2F

Thank you for being transparent. This is a good behind-the-scenes look and I'm sure everyone would love to see more posts from you on this topic.

We already sign DPAs, but expect to see more public information on GDPR later this year.

Completely agreed on building/offering higher-level services like SQS, SNS, S3. We're only at ~10% of where I want the platform to be, which is also why we're hiring quite aggressively!

Lots of improvements and additions planned for the coming months. Thank you for sticking with us.

(Render founder) thanks for the mention. We have 50+ person companies running entirely on Render with zero devops engineers. The point at which you need to evaluate options is a lot further out than you'd expect (and continues to disap

Hiring a (good) DevOps or infrastructure engineer is harder and more expensive than you might think. That said, you can go very far with stateless apps at the edge with regional read replicas and a single write instance that's half way

We created a one-click deploy for Posthog if you want to kick the tires: https://render.com/docs/deploy-posthog . More OSS analytics tools here: https://render.com/docs/docker#analytics-and-business

Agreed and noted.

We're going to update the pricing page so you don't have to click through things as much.

(I work at Render) We do need a Github/Gitlab repo, but we're not wedded to it. So I'm clear, you want the static site hosted on Render but built via GH Actions?

(Render founder) Thanks for using and recommending Render. Happy to answer questions. Incidentally, we launched a Heroku to Render migration tool just a couple of weeks ago: https://render.com/docs/migrate-from-heroku

(Render founder) We've learned a lot from these outages, most of which stemmed from DDoS attacks. We've since built DDoS protection into the fabric of Render: https://render.com/blog/free-ddos-protection . Spe

(Render founder; genuinely curious) what about Render makes you not want to use it?

When it comes to free tiers, this is definitely a big differentiator. We've heard so many horror stories (many on HN) about developers ending up with a massive bill on AWS and other providers even when they thought they were on a free
