Render Startup Program

One unified cloud platform to build, deploy, and scale apps and websites—from prototypes to large scale.

Support for linking a Git repo (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) for automatic deploys on every push.

Zero-downtime deployments with automatic health checks and instant rollbacks.

Free TLS certificates and HTTPS by default, custom domains, and global CDN.

Global hosting (regions across US, Europe, Asia) and private networks so services can communicate without traversing the public internet.

Managed datastores:

• Fully-managed PostgreSQL (with features like point-in-time recovery, high-availability)
• Key-Value store (Redis®-compatible) for caching, job queues etc.
• Infrastructure-as-Code support via “Blueprint” (YAML) or Terraform provider.
• Autoscaling (both vertical and horizontal), load balancing, and resource scaling as traffic changes.
• Preview environments / pull-request deploys so you can test changes in a separate environment before merging.

Security & Compliance:

• DDoS protection built in.
• Firewall, network-isolated environments, outbound/inbound IP rules.
• Compliance: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001.

Observability / Monitoring:
