What does Render.com do that Heroku doesn't? (seriously asking)
- http/3 (and 2)
- DDoS protection
- Mount a disk if you need persistent storage across deploys
- Secrets files (not just env vars)
- Private networking and DNS-based service discovery between your account's deployed services
Disclosure: I'm a Render Dev Advocate
First is there anything you think that Heroku is still better at then Render is today? Not including stuff thing might come later, but if I had to use todays stack.
I see some locations/regions but would like to know more about where the datacenters are, and how close to AWS networks they are.
What tuning options do I have for Postgres and Redis.
Thanks!
As far as I know it’s not possible to have separate environments where you’re guaranteed a bit-for-bit match going from staging to production in Render. You have to build for each environment, which if your builds are deterministic should be fine, but I’ve definitely seen that go haywire where you find out your build is in fact not deterministic in some subtle way.
