About Render

Render is a cloud hosting platform for deploying and running web services, APIs, static sites, background jobs, cron jobs, and agent workloads. Users connect a code repository, and the platform selects a runtime for the framework and handles networking, scaling, deploys, rollbacks, and monitoring.

The platform also offers managed Postgres databases with point-in-time recovery, read replicas, and high availability, along with Redis-compatible key value storage, WebSockets, edge caching through a global CDN, and private networking between services. Object storage is listed on the homepage as coming soon, so it is not yet available. Compliance certifications such as SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and GDPR are described on the homepage as supported; check the trust center for current details. Logs and metrics can be streamed to external monitoring tools, which means data leaves the platform in that case. Pricing is not stated in the source material.
