Render review from Flaut.ru development team
What do you like best about the product?
UI simplicity, excellent and comprehensive documentation in a single place, responsive support and a roadmap with up/down voting support
What do you dislike about the product?
Not so many regions just yet, no SLA just yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifying deployment process and saving our hosting budget
VERY RISKY CLOUD
What do you like best about the product?
easy to deploy many scripts like wordpress and ghost
What do you dislike about the product?
their snapshots are not reliable, one day I tried to restore a snapshot of my services IDs:
mysql-wordpress-48ha
wordpress-48ha
after 10 days of negotiations with customer service and the community they told me this:
Hi Anass, unfortunately the restore process for MySQL databases (and therefore WordPress sites) might have required more explicit backup requirements.
BTW, even they don't give us root access, and the SSH key didn't allow us to connect to external backup service provider
+360 days +4000$ in the trash, I'm damaged literally

fast deploy scripts
Easy to deploy and free platform
What do you like best about the product?
This platform is easily one of the best platforms I've ever used, the interface is really handy and the whole service is useful for getting you the best experience with deployments without having to have a DevOps course or a professional for that. One thing I have to say is that the documentation of the platform is very comprehensible and helpful. Can´t forget that unlike other platforms this platform doesn´t block you at anything asking for your credit card unless you have to pay for that. This platform is awesome for small or big projects, I'm enjoying it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't have any problems with the platform yet, I think the prices are very accessible and didn´t have any problems that I needed to contact the support team or anything like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, I have an open-source project that's starting to take form and render is helping me afford all the costs of hosting it, one of the objectives of the project was being easy to deploy and render did actually really help me
Managing AWS ECR Actions, Events & Logs using Render CLI & provisioning Zero-Downtime Deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Render dashboard gives excellent features to create & manage IaC services and moderates our infrastructure whenever we push changes to our production environment. We can create new instances which are customizable through its Blueprint Spec feature. It also has excellent resource discovery provisions for our existing resources and we can incorporate changes in them to synchronize our cloud services with Render YAML scripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
We can set up cron jobs through our GitHub repositories in the Render platform. We define the runtime environment based on our needs and drop our cron job code in the branch of our repository. We need to specify whether the cron job requires background workers or not, else the job execution will be stopped if it runs for more than 12 hours. It doesn't have any downside to be mentioned based on its platform service provided for our AWS environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We initiate our Amazon ECR code push from our GitHub Enterprise repository and link packages & API dependencies for our zero-downtime deployments. Its Health Check automatically restarts our applications if they are unresponsive or return errors. We can also enable its Auto deploy option to trigger new deploy whenever we push our code. Render CLI is effective to track our job execution status on a real-time basis, overview events & action items for our Amazon Elastic Container Registry service.
Managing Evict Policies, Read Replica Performance for our PostgreSQL & Redis Instances with Render
What do you like best about the product?
Render's bandwidth allocation for our DB instances is great as it allows upto 100GB per month in Egress configurations. Whenever we experience variable load, it offers scalability features which can be both manual scaling or autoscaling. Monitoring of these scaling instances can be simply done in its Events tab present in its service dashboard. It also provides a load balancer in front of our instances so that it distributes our network request traffic evenly to our web services.
What do you dislike about the product?
None actually. It automatically performs our build & deploys instances which Git repository webhooks can define. We can schedule our service deployments using its cron jobs effortlessly. We can trigger our builds for our static web applications from its CMS systems without adding headers or additional authentication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can create Redis instances that Render totally manages, thereby promoting secure & reliable services. It supports high throughput with low latency reads & writes, which is flexible for our caches & datastores. PostgreSQL deployments are also feasible as Render ensures essentialities such as encryption at rest, backup automation, and scalable SSD storage. We provision read-only access for database instances using Read Replica policy to reduce the workload on our primary database & to have better database administrative control.
The best free deployment for static websites.
What do you like best about the product?
Render is the best way to deploy websites. It's free, way faster than Github Pages, and can set up without any big hassle. Unlike Vercel, it also supports deployments in other languages like the dotnet framework.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since 2022 there's a limit of minutes of deploys when using static sites; this makes me think more when I deploy a new version not to waste any deploy minutes left.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Render is sometimes slower to deploy, but it's worth the wait. I've experienced more than 10x the speed on render compared to Vercel, Github Pages and Heroku. Render gives me hope that smaller/newer companies can beat those in the business for years.
Render Is Amazing Review
What do you like best about the product?
Automatic Deployment, Flat Pay Model, Ease of Managed PostgreSQL Database Service. Intuitive UI and Dashboard controls,
What do you dislike about the product?
It would help if Render were more widely known. We stumbled after multiple struggles with AWS and it would have saved us a lot of time as a young startup to have used Render from the beginning to minimize development time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Render is helping us reduce development time significantly by managing automatic deployment. In addition, the managed database service is hassle-free and enables us to focus on adding features rather than database backups, etc. Plus, the flay pay model leads to predictable pricing, which is paramount for a young startup to avoid server spike-related costs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just use Render. Don't overthink it. You will be a happier developer as a result.
Deploying websites and apps on Render is a no-brainer
What do you like best about the product?
I've worked in this field for decades and I've done it all. Used Heroku. Used AWS. Used DigitalOcean. Used my own bare metal servers. Used "shared hosting". Used top Jamstack hosts like Netlify and Vercel. Render has jumped to top of the field in my opinion. Deploying new websites and applications on Render is a breeze, the price is most certainly right, and the support crew there is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few "niceties" I miss currently when using Render, such as direct SSH (you have to use their web console), managed Redis (you have to deploy via a one-off container), or built-in object storage. But they're adding new features at a rapid clip. I expect it won't be long before they're competitive across the board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Host static sites, Ruby applications, databases—the works. Unless you have very specialized or demanding needs, Render will get the job done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try deploying a small project or two and get a feel for what the platform is capable of.
Simple deployment for my whole stack
What do you like best about the product?
I love how quickly the automated builds are, and how simple it was to get set up after moving from Heroku and other providers.
I think the expansion of their features into cron-jobs and the likes, coupled with their super competitive pricing - they feel like the best provider to build on for my applications.
The abstractions they have created for getting set up means I'm not wasting time trying to figure everything out. Their documentation & step-by-step guides have helped me get started quickly and now I've been using Render for a little over 8 months.
Overall I recommend them highly and look forward to what they expand to over the coming year!

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the UI around deployments isn't as smooth as It could be - mostly around updating the state of the deployment without refreshing.
I also think that the logs could be presented in a clearer way - it doesn't feel like the most modern logging UI. These are minor though to the benefits I get.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lightning-fast deployments and implementation of new services - it's so simple to start up a node application and be running live with an SSL certificate and custom domain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, the free tiers for static sites are very generous and then upgrade when needed :)
Easiest Cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Render takes the pain out of development. It's incredible. Within 2 minutes, you can be deploying your projects on Render. But despite the speed and ease of development, Render does not compromise. You get world-class CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and many other incredible features. I have helped multiple people and companies start using Render. They have all saved time in setting up their infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I first started using Render, the availability of services was a concern. Availability is something the Render team has addressed recently, and I haven't been affected in a while.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm deploying and maintaining multiple microservices with a complex CI/CD pipeline with Render. I must have an infra stack that lets me focus on building new features. Render allows me to abstract away infra and work on my core business.
