Hi -- yes this is on the free plan for clarification of the original comment. Good to know. I was testing out the free plans until I upgraded. https://render.com/docs/build-limits I don't see this mentioned anywhere. https://render.com/pricing should maybe show a row/column on the build speed for the different tiers.
Additionally, spinning up the postgres instance was on a paid tier. I contacted support but it self-resolved eventually after I blew away the instance and rebuilt. However, it was queued up for like 8+ hours on the first pass.
