"Simple deployment for my whole stack"

5/5

What do you like best about Render?

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.

What do you dislike about Render?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Render:

Try it out, the free tiers for static sites are very generous and then upgrade when needed :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Render 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
