In addition to what cpursley said in a sibling comment:

- 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

I've seen Render.com pop up a lot lately on HN. Even have a pinned tab for the migration from Heroku to Render. I have some work stuff on both Heroku and EC2 (gpu instances) and a lot of side projects between both. That said I have a few questions if you dont mind.

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!

Free static sites, no daily restarts, easy docker and handles distributed Elixir which is huge for us. I haven't had to touch our infrastructure for a year.
