I have assessed Render a couple of times for work. Both. times they were just too unstable for production (in 2020 and in 2023)

I’ve been using it since 2020, very happy with it. This post worries me though.

I help run another PaaS, and I’m very curious about your production evaluation criteria. Would you be willing to share?

For context, our PaaS has been focused on running reliable and scalable production workloads for about a decade. We don’t really do hobbyist use cases, sadly. But instead we prioritize actual businesses with production use cases.

If you share your evaluation criteria, I would love to test Aptible against it. I can share the results with you if you’d find it interesting, but frankly I just want the results for my team and me. I’d be so grateful, and happy to return the favor in any way I can. If you prefer, you can email me at henry AT aptible.com

What did you find unstable exactly?

their IaaS system. it hangs. this gives very bad CI pipelines that you have to surveil. also it makes, eg. Github actions, insanely expensive as they are billed. per. minute, and render can hang upwards of hours or unbound if not stopped.

Ouch. We'll investigate and prioritize a fix.
