Render

Render is a cloud hosting platform for web services, APIs, databases and AI agents. It connects to your Git repository and deploys each change.

Render runs web services, background workers, cron jobs, static sites, private services and Postgres databases in one place. You connect a repository, and Render detects the framework and deploys it on a suitable runtime. Each pull request can get a full preview of the application, and deploys can be rolled back. The platform also handles scaling, networking and monitoring, with logs for builds, deploys and live services.

• Web services, workers and cron jobs
• Managed Postgres databases
• Preview environments for pull requests
• Autoscaling for traffic spikes
• Logs and monitoring for builds and services

Startups, indie developers and product teams who want to run apps and agents without managing servers. Teams with several services can use the private networking between them, and teams that ship often can use the preview environments to test each change before it goes live.

Render has a free option for some workloads, including static sites, and paid plans for always-on services and databases. Pricing details, instance sizes and limits are on the Render pricing page. Free services can be paused or limited in ways that paid services are not, so check the terms before you use one for production traffic.
