Have to echo this. Just deployed a new app to Render this week. Was dreading it but the experience was really smooth. Was a fan of Heroku but it seems neglected and is overpriced. With AWS I want to gouge my eyes out. It’s early days but Render is a nice middle ground so far.

I’ve migrated 2 apps from Heroku to Render and both worked on my first push. One was node.js job, other was React SPA + Postgrest.

They also have $10K in credits for Atlas companies (and some other programs as well, though not personally using them so don’t know the details).
