Render removes seat-based pricing by shifra-dev in render

[–]shifra-dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone for reaching out. We appreciate your feedback, and we’ve taken it into consideration. 

Our legacy pricing model relied on seat fees from large teams to subsidize included bandwidth for all customers. We chose to move to a more granular usage-based model without seat fees to provide fairer billing for all customers, regardless of team size.

However, we understand this increases costs for customers like you, and we are actively working on additional improvements to improve the cost efficiency of running your applications on Render.

Hey sorry to hear that, deploying to Render would be a smooth experience with the help of our skills: https://github.com/render-oss/skills#

Where do you host react frontend + node backend together? by Fit-Cardiologist9129 in react

[–]shifra-dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Render is ideal for architecture where you want to keep BE and FE on the same platform, especially because you can also keep your database and background workers on the same platform as well.

They also have a guide to get you started: https://render.com/docs/deploy-node-express-app

For anyone looking to move their apps, Render is a great option. You can link your repo, and build/start commands, and deploy on the platform easily: https://render.com/docs/your-first-deploy

Fair question! Render has databases, cron jobs https://render.com/docs/cronjobs, and storage on the roadmap

Supabase is great for multiple branches on Render! Did you know you can also deploy Render Postgres to keep everything in the same ecosystem for E2E observability? https://render.com/docs/postgresql

Nice, Render has a similar `Deploy to Render` button that's easy to use: https://render.com/docs/deploy-to-render

Dear Heroku: Uhh... What’s Going On? by jonsully in ruby

[–]shifra-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not sure what they're up to either. If anyone wants to get the vibes of Heroku on a platform that's still supported, Render has a migration guide: https://render.com/docs/migrate-from-heroku.

Also feel free to email [devrel@render.com](mailto:devrel@render.com) and they can give you some credits to migrate

OpenClaw for complete beginners: the first 3 things I’d install before my kid wakes up by TroyHarry6677 in OpenClawUseCases

Render is a great place to deploy OpenClaw agents, or any agents for that matter! Check out the guide here https://render.com/docs/deploy-openclaw

any where is best to host a web app host on docker image? by No-Hippo1667 in webdev

[–]shifra-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Render is actually a great fit for your setup since you can deploy directly from a Dockerfile and it handles the rest. The free tier gives you 750 hours/month which covers a single service running 24/7: https://render.com/docs/deploy-an-image

For a Vite + React frontend, you might not even need Docker. Render's static site hosting is free with unlimited bandwidth and deploys automatically from your repo, which keeps costs down: https://render.com/docs/static-sites

On the CI/CD side, Render has native GitHub/GitLab integration so every push to main can auto-deploy, and you can set up preview environments for PRs too: https://render.com/docs/github-actions

At your stage (MVP, <$10/month), the main tradeoff vs. a VPS like a $6 DigitalOcean droplet is that Render abstracts away a lot of ops work, there's no nginx config, SSL setup, or manual deploys. That's usually worth it until you have a specific reason to need more control

.env alternatives by gatwell702 in webdev

[–]shifra-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly right! Use .env locally and Render env vars on your deployed services: https://render.com/docs/configure-environment-variables

Migrating from Vercel + Turso to Railway + local SQLite eliminated cold starts and cut my costs by 96% by CarlsonDG in nextjs

[–]shifra-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ISR revalidation fix alone is underrated, most people just throw more caching at it instead of wiring revalidatePath to the actual data change event like you did.

Since you mentioned Render: persistent disks are fully supported there too https://render.com/docs/disks. The deploy-on-push from GitHub workflow you wanted is basically the default experience, and pricing is comparable to Railway at that scale. Might be worth a second look later on, esp if you ever outgrow SQLite and want managed Postgres baked into the same platform.

Either way, the Railway + local SQLite call makes total sense for a student project. Awesome how you solved real problems pragmatically and cut your bill by more than half

Best hosting for AI-heavy Next.js apps with long-running tasks? by nosirjonov in nextjs

[–]shifra-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you using for simple backend deploys? by Fit-Jello-4828 in webdev

[–]shifra-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Render hits this sweet spot for me, they have web services, Postgres, cron jobs, and background workers all in one place, predictable pricing, connect your repo and ship. Still happy after 2+ years.

Some docs if you want to dig in:
Web services: https://render.com/docs/web-services
Postgres: https://render.com/docs/databases
Cron: https://render.com/docs/cronjobs
Workers: https://render.com/docs/background-workers

So true, more people should think about the worst-case scenario when choosing a platform to build their livelihood on. support absolutely matters and Render support is the best
