Render

Render handles deployments smoothly without complex setup. It’s the simplest way to host server that just work

The best free hosting platform hands down!

Perfect for developers that don't wanna deal with the challenges of dev-ops too much.

Render combines the simplicity of Netlify with the flexibility of Heroku — easy Docker deployments, SSL by default, and clear logs. It’s more predictable and transparent in pricing than AWS or Vercel for long-running jobs.

Render makes deployment effortless for Billing Plus. Their seamless scaling and zero-config deploys let us focus on building features our users love instead of managing infrastructure. Rock-solid reliability for our global user base

Render transformed deployment from DevOps nightmare into one-click operation—for lean startups, that's existential. Launching SaaS means every infrastructure hour isn't building features. We needed deployment handling production reliability without dedicated DevOps. Render delivered enterprise infrastructure with startup simplicity. Infrastructure-as-code via YAML meant production (web services, workers, PostgreSQL, Redis) is version-controlled—no undocumented changes causing failures. What made Render indispensable: elimination of deployment risk. Automatic deploys made shipping effortless. Zero-downtime deployments ensured customers never experience interruptions. Health checks and automatic rollbacks meant failed deployments fix themselves—turning disasters into non-events. Managed database and Redis eliminated operational burden. Database failure means lost data and business-ending damage. Managed services with backups meant infrastructure wouldn't fail catastrophically. Transparent pricing aligned with bootstrapped economics—no surprise bills. Alternatives couldn't match: AWS required extensive DevOps consuming bandwidth; Heroku became prohibitively expensive with performance limitations; managing servers meant 24/7 responsibility; Kubernetes demanded specialized engineers. Seamless Docker integration kept development and production synchronized. Dashboard provided visibility without complex monitoring. We needed Render because sustainable SaaS demands infrastructure reliable for enterprise yet simple for lean teams. Render made professional deployment accessible, turning months of DevOps into solved problem. Velocity translated to faster delivery and revenue growth. For bootstrapped startups where efficiency determines survival, Render let us compete with better-funded competitors.

What it provided: a "live" continuation of the story (prod) + backend. Why it's important: a bridge across the Rubicon timer to a real application.

Was able to deploy my backend and db fast and easy thanks to render. Their low pricing allows hobby creators like me to continue developing

Render's "zero DevOps" approach is a dream come true for a solo developer. I can just push to git and trust that my backend will work, letting me focus 100% on building features instead of managing infrastructure.

Grateful to Render Network for enabling decentralized GPU computing that supports our AI training and backtesting. By tapping into scalable and affordable GPU power, we can continuously refine Elysian’s allocation models and deliver better results to our community of crypto passive income investors. 🚀

for powering Suvastra’s backend with rock-solid deployments, managed databases, and auto-scaling. It keeps everything smooth so we can focus on fashion, not infrastructure.

Big thanks to Render for hosting our backend! SYNC’s APIs and server are live and running smoothly thanks to their simple and reliable cloud platform.

What Heroku should have been / become. At SimpleLegal (YC13) I built a minimal version of infrastructure-as-code on top of Heroku. Glad to have Render doing it and doing it sanely this time.
