Re:Railway Blocked by Google Cloud

Without knowing more about why Railway was banned, it's hard to say how we would prevent it. Render uses GCP, AWS, and now, our own hardware [1]; GCP is mostly a historical artifact; we started using AWS for most things after dealing with poor customer and sales support from GCP a few years ago.

> also, I can't help but imagine if instead of render, it was Apple's account which could've been auto-banned (Render is almost a billion dollar company or series-B, I am not sure)
I believe you mean Railway.
Render (a $1.5B company) has been hosting customers on GCP since 2018, and has never been banned.

Show HN: Render Workflows โ Durable task orchestration without queues or workers
Hey HN, I'm Anurag, founder and CEO of Render, a cloud for application developers. We've just launched Render Workflows, a way to define durable tasks by decorating plain TypeScript or Python functions and running them on Render without operating queues, worker pools, retry logic, and state management. Code example below [1].The use cases we have in mind include agent loops, ETL/data pipelines,...

Render does not require a Dockerfile or understanding containers. It can also detect your runtime and deploy your app without ever generating a Dockerfile.

The one redeeming feature of this failure is staged rollouts. As someone advertising routes through CF, we were quite happy to be spared from the initial 25%.
Re:AWS Adds support for nested virtualization
on Thursday February 12, 2026 @08:05PM (#46997620)
This is a big deal because you can now run Firecracker/other microVMs in an AWS VM instead of expensive AWS bare-metal instances.
GCP has had nested virtualization for a while.

I work at Render (render.com); we have over 4 million developers on the platform, and we've migrated many large (and small) Heroku customers over because of our more modern capabilities and scalable pricing.
