I’ve been using Render since January, after switching from Heroku for a project of mine with about 10,000 direct users at present. The project is a Rails app that imports hundreds of thousands of rows of data from XLSX files and spits out PDFs on demand from those imported spreadsheets.
I was worried that Heroku would end up costing me a small fortune as demand scaled. Plus the platform seemed to have stagnated.
I contemplated switching to AWS, but didn’t want to deal with the extra hassle of it. By chance, I saw someone mention Render on here, checked it out, and couldn’t be happier.
It’s a bit harder to get up and running with Render than Heroku, but orders of magnitude easier than with AWS. And once you’re operational, it’s a cinch.

And way, way, way cheaper.
