|
| "Render's free database plan allows you to run a PostgreSQL

| Free databases are suspended after 90 days (unless they are

| The paid plans do start at $7, and you can share a database

| switching away from Heroku today, I'd consider something else.
|
| For example, we had a monitor set up in Papertrail that
| notifies us if it doesn't see our application's heartbeat log
| entry in a 10-minute period. We had to disable that monitor
| because Render will regularly have outages related to logging
| where logs simply don't make it to the log stream. Their status
| page is all green and I've unfortunately had to reach out to
| support on more than one Friday night.
|
| Deploys take a little too long, around 5 minutes on the paid
| Pro Plus tier.
|
| And, minor gripe, but the web UI feels like an SPA, and I think
| it's built to be one, but the frontend state isn't stable and
| will often show the wrong information. From time to time,
| you'll need to manually refresh the page to get the correct
| information.
|
| The security issue that happened with Heroku back in April and
| the subsequent flubbing of communication around the issue made
| it so we had no choice but to migrate. But the platform itself
| was rock solid in my experience. I don't get that same feeling
| from Render.
|
| I'm holding out hope that it improves in the coming months!
