Congrats @anuraggoel on winning techcrunch battle field. You mentioned about list of add-ons in Q&A. Where can I see the list of add-ons? I can't find add ons list on the website.
Can you provide a bit of insight into your global CDN? What provider do you use and how many sites are there? I’m interested in moving my static sites to Render from Firebase which has performance issues.
@anuraggoel thanks, this is better than Firebase which only has 20 or so sites. You’re missing some locations in Brazil and India and South Africa unfortunately
Been a user for almost 6 months. Render makes you affordably focus on your product and not on deployment and scaling. It’s my first choice when building something new
Been using this for nearly a year. I cant recommend Render highly enough. Super responsive with the help, and the app works seamlessly! Keep going guys
Hi everyone,
It's so great to be featured here. We weren't planning on launching today but Render won TechCrunch Battlefield yesterday so here we are.
Our goal is to be the best cloud provider for developers and startups who've traditionally been neglected by large clouds like AWS. Heroku was great five years ago, but things have stagnated since the Salesforce acquisition, and we're hoping to carry the baton into the next decade and beyond.
Happy to answer questions here. You can also join us at https://render.com/chat for live Q&A.
Cheers!
@achuthhadnoor@anuraggoel i got it, but netlify is telling me that backend goes into functions/cloud functions. Same as Cloudflare with workers (KV). Maybe im not your target ?
@achuthhadnoor@francoolaami you can use cloud functions (which is backed by AWS Lambda) which have once-per-request semantics and the cold-start problem. With Render you can run regular, long-running servers that can serve multiple requests at the same time and can avoid cold starts.
Been using render for some recent projects and it’s been awesome. Easy to use, performant, pretty powerful. Great support too!
I feel like Render is the first thing I’ve used in a long time that fulfills the promise of serverless without many of the drawbacks.
Hi, Just discovered them on TechCrunch, I am from Kenya and was considering using render, however I see the only mode of payment is through stripe which is not avialble in my location. Are there alternative modes of payment? Or do we have to wait for 10 years?
Quick Code
