What Render does

Render is a cloud platform for hosting and running web applications, static sites, background workers, cron jobs, and databases from Git repositories or container images. Developers connect their code, and Render builds and deploys it, manages TLS certificates, domains, scaling, and health checks through a web dashboard and API. It supports common service types including web services, static sites, PostgreSQL databases, and key-value stores with configuration via environment variables and infrastructure-as-code files. Services run in managed infrastructure where Render handles provisioning, networking, logging, and rollouts.
