What is Render?
Render's documentation describes Git-connected web-service deployment and service types including static sites, background workers and managed data services. It also explains that a default service filesystem is ephemeral, which affects uploads and local state.

Key capabilities
- Web service: Build and deploy a dynamic application from source or image.
- Service mix: Add workers or data services when the architecture requires them.
- Deployment operations: Use health checks and logs to assess releases.
Application hosting, deploys and supporting services are the main decision areas.
Use Render for a web application when the deployment and operations model fits. Decide where persistent data lives, how secrets are stored and what happens when a release fails.
A pilot should include an upload or other stateful path so ephemeral storage assumptions are found before production.
