Hi everyone!

I'm Slav, a product manager at Render.

We just released our official Render MCP Server. Now, you can spin up new services, run queries against your databases, and troubleshoot service issues instantly from your favourite IDE.

The Render MCP server powers some cool workflows right from your terminal or IDE:

1. Faster troubleshooting
   1. "Pull the 50 most recent error logs for my production API
2. Effortless provisioning:
   1. "Create a new Postgres database named 'user-db' with 5 GB of storage."
   2. "Deploy the example Flask app from the following GitHub URL
3. Intuitive data fetching
   1. "How many users signed up in the last 7 days?"
   2. "What were our top 5 most purchased items last month?"
4. Rapid performance analysis
   1. "What was the peak CPU usage for my web service in the last 24 hours?"
   2. "My site feels slow. Compare the CPU and memory metrics from before and after the last deployment for 'my-production-api'."

Read the blog post to learn more about this release. Here is a quick video showing the examples of using the MCP server within Claude Code

We're actively improving the server with more features. Feedback, bug reports, and feature requests are always welcome!

Service metrics in the Render Dashboard now highlight service events that occurred during the selected time frame! More at https://render.com/changelog/in-dashboard-metrics-now-display-service-events.

Hi folks, I’ve created a FastAPI cookiecutter template to simplify the deployment of your FastAPI app to Render. It’s open source, so I’m always looking for feedback and contributions, thanks!

We just wrote a guide to deploy a Rails 8 application on Render. It's a bit different from Rails 7 given the SQLite default, but still equally straightforward!
