(Render founder) PITR is critical, and it's up there on our 2021 TODOs along with HA Postgres.

I've been thinking about switching to Render recently, but there's one feature blocking me: the ability to deploy an existing docker image from a private registry [1]. As far as I can tell, you have to connect a repo to deploy a Render service.. and monorepos are not fully supported yet either.

Is your 2021 roadmap public, or is Canny your official roadmap? Really interested to see what's coming soon :)

Btw, I've been working at Canny for the past year and was pleasantly surprised to see your feedback site!

I recently noticed that DigitalOcean App Platform allows you to pull an image from a private DO registry. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but I’m excited to see if it might allow me to delete some CI/CD infrastructure glue code.

Last time I tried Render I couldn’t find a way of easily deploying an existing image.

Yeah, DigitalOcean's App Platform recently added support for custom images this year [1] (I was also waiting for that). I'm currently running a $5 droplet for my service [2] powered by docker-compose, but really looking forward to deleting some bash scripts and going all in on Render or Fly.io :)

feedback.render.com is as close to a public roadmap as we'll get. Big fan of Canny: it plays a big role in our product prioritization.

Private registries likely in 2021; we're actively hiring! https://render.com/jobs

Thanks for the response! Great to know it's on the way
