Snapshot
Why this vendor is on watch
Unified cloud platform to build and run apps, databases, cron jobs, and static sites with easy deploys from Git.
Render free web services are useful for testing, but spin-down, automatic robots.txt behavior while spun down, bandwidth, build pipeline minutes, and data persistence must be checked before production. Upgrade when first-response latency, private networking, scaling, or persistence matters.
