#2Looks great but I have to say that the name is probably not helping with branding, awareness, or discovery what-so-ever.
edit: ah, my mistake, this is a sub-product, not the main product
Re: Render: a Zero DevOps Cloud Platform
#3I'm guessing the appeal of such services is "hassle-free" deployment? Because I really don't get it.
My DigitalOcean instance is 2 GB RAM, 30 GB disk. With backups it costs $11.40/month. And yes, I'm free to run whatever on it, be it Postgres or Redis or...
To have an equivalent on Render would be 3-4 times more expensive?

#4This is the first time I’ve read “Zero DevOps” as a product feature, but it seems like a pretty good selling point.

#6Redis in docker, Kubernetes is almost zero config as it is. For small stuff anyway.
For big stuff, would it not be a massive drag not having it proximal to your app serve we a?

This is basically hosted redis, it looks like. It's like any other hosted db. It means they take care of monitoring, backups, configuration, fixing stuff that goes wrong, etc. RDS is the same idea and people spend a fortune on it.

With Platform as a Service (PaaS) you are paying a premium for isolating the problem to an individual component which is down. You can either spend a few hours going through the logs or have PaaS vendor let you know that problem is not at their end so that you can spend time isolating the issue.

#9The pricing absolutely blows Heroku away here across the spectrum…
Heroku: $15/mo = 50Mb memory + 40 connections
Render: $10/mo = 250Mb memory + 500 connections
---
Heroku $750/mo = 7Gb memory + 10k connections
Render $250/mo = 10Gb memory + 10k connections
