Render

Render is a similar platform to Heroku but is cheaper in general. We still use Heroku for its low cost add-ons.

Install CLI

brew tap render-oss/render
brew install render

Deploy

Merging to the production branch will deploy to render.

Configure SSH Keys

Generate an Ed25519 key. This is required because it is more secure than RSA.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/render

Go to your Render Dashboard, under your profile Account Settings, go to SSH Public Keys.

Add the public key by copy pasting the contents of:

cat ~/.ssh/render.pub

SSH Access

Every service will have a unique SSH user that you can view on that services shell page.
