Earlier quoted context omitted.

* You can now block private network traffic from crossing environment boundaries ( https://render.com/docs/projects#blocking-cross-environment-... ). We also just launched an invite-only feature that creates a high-level Organizational structure with multiple teams, where each team member is only charged once. * Otel exports are in development and should be live in early access in a few weeks! * Heard on subnet IPs *…

Thanks for the reply. I never understood the appeal of the network traffic split since it didnt come with user access control. Not everybody in a team needs access to all environments and even within an environment not everybody needs access to every service and/or secrets of those services. Couple of other things while I do have you: - More control on the instance sizing similar to how you have us control of the pos…

- Completely agree on more instance sizes similar out our Postgres

- More granular secret access (and, in general, more granular RBAC) are on the list for 2025

- Render is now ISO 27001 certified [1], and we help you pass SOC 2/ISO 27001 audits.

Thanks for the support team shoutout!

I gotta say, reading this I have no idea what Render actually does or how it's different from AWS or Heroku. They say they've threaded the needle between the two to provide a new way of deploying infra, but what that is…who knows! Naturally a paragraph on AI. At some point companies lose the ability to say, "We are X. It used to be that Y, which had issues of A, B, C. Instead, X does Z, so $USERS can now D, E, F." Wh…

Modern heroku. The toolset is standard for web these days (eg docker, etc) but you don’t need to roll your own devops.

It might be hard to understand the value prop because it seems like a commodity… but that’s exactly the value prop: a commodity that works well, is priced right, and you don’t need to worry about using some weird toolset or rolling your own infrastructure.

(I'm Render's founder) What should we build next, HN?

Was loving the ease of deployment on render but had to move off for lack of BAA and HIPAA compliance. Any timeline for support?

We're working towards HIPAA compliance this year, but I don't have an ETA.

As an end customer these things area always mixed feelings. I'd rather hear that the company I use is profitable and sustainable.

We can choose to be profitable now, but we're choosing to reinvest profits into building for the long term. Either way, not going anywhere!

I'm trying to switch to using preview environments right now to optimize my git workflow and it is a bit of a bummer that I can't just assign preview environments their own environment group. I am still trying to wrap my head around the best way to do this because I have a lot of environment variables. I also have my object storage with Digital Ocean at the moment. Would love to have that all under one roof.

Preview environments need some polish. We'll get there.
