Others find it good, so I guess it might be, but it's not for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They need to fix the pricing descriptions. I had one failed deployment that in Google Cloud and Azure is not charged, but was charged in Render.com. Also the pricing says 90 days free PostgreSQL, but was charged at the end of the first month. Also github integration was taking too long to be completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI simplicity, excellent and comprehensive documentation in a single place, responsive support and a roadmap with up/down voting support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not so many regions just yet, no SLA just yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I moved all my web services and Static sites from places like Heroku and Netlify because Render just works and gives me rest. The pricing is transparent and affordable for indie makers like me who want to build out my ideas and not break the bank with accumulated billings(looking at you, Heroku).

Render also focus on developer love by giving you tools to make sure you deploy your code with rest. Look at something like Environment variable groups; for example, let's you create a reusable fgroup of environment variables that you can use in both staging and production. This simple feature, as it may seem, has saved me a whole lot of time redefining environment variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything about Render, to be honest. Everything works great. Sure there is always room for improvement, but no deal-breaker for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- super easy setup with Github integration

- team seems invested for the long haul and responsive to user feedback Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really wish cron jobs weren't billed separately! But I get it... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automatic Deployment, Flat Pay Model, Ease of Managed PostgreSQL Database Service. Intuitive UI and Dashboard controls, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
