Heroku-simple deploys with grown-up infrastructure: autoscaling, managed Postgres, preview environments.
Render is a managed cloud platform for deploying and scaling web apps without touching raw AWS: web services, static sites, background workers, cron jobs, managed Postgres and key-value stores, autoscaling, private networking, zero-downtime deploys, and preview environments — all driveable via Infrastructure-as-Code, REST API, and CLI. The natural landing spot for teams outgrowing Heroku or comparing against Railway.
· Managed cloud for shipping backends without a DevOps hire — deploy-from-git for the tools and portco projects that need more than a static site.
