I'm currently on Heroku (want to get off it!), and the main thing that's keeping me from trying out Render is the lack of point in time recovery for Postgres. Having had to use it once on Heroku it's an absolute life saver, I would be nervous of not having it. Does Render have any plans to implement a Postgress WAL point in time recovery/restore feature?

You're not alone! Here's where we're tracking that feature request: https://feedback.render.com/features/p/add-point-in-time-rec...
Upvote if it's what you are looking for. Leave a comment if you'd like to share more context or your needs are slightly different.
Thanks, done and done. As I said over on my comment at the above link it is one of those features that if you have every had to use it you cant live without it. I hope I would never have to use it but need it to be there just in case we screwup!
One of the things I have loved about Heroku is that once you have an account and have the CLI installed, you can create and deploy apps entirely through the CLI. You don't ever have to visit the Heroku dashboard during the initial deployment process.
Is this possible at all on Render? I haven't gone through the process on Render yet, but it looks like it requires a visit to the site at some point for each project that you want to deploy.
This is correct, but a Render CLI is planned: https://feedback.render.com/features/p/render-cli
If you have the time, please share in that thread what you love most about using CLIs for services like Heroku or Render.
Also, we just released a public API which was a dependency for the CLI.

I’m very excited about the potential future of Render.
