Feature Requests

I would like to use Render's CDN for static sites to serve static assets for my non-static apps built with frameworks like Rails or Django. This would let me turn off the option for Rails to serve static files. In a typical setup, this would be off and static assets would be served directly from the CDN and these requests would never hit the (comparatively slow) Rails app.

While Render supports storing data on disks, it would be great to have a really easy to use object storage feature with the capabilities of AWS S3. This would be accessible via S3-compatible APIs and will be used to store arbitrary blobs like images and videos.

This would be useful for putting staging/development environments behind a company VPN to prevent unauthorized access.

I would like an easy way to deploy and connect to a MongoDB instance in Render.

I often write my apps with docker-compose to specify all the docker options. I would render to be able to read my docker-compose file, create all the services, and appropriately coordinate between them, as if I had simply run docker-compose up

Support for IPv6 would be an ideal feature.

It'd be great to use it for vector searches at higher performance levels. More details https://github.com/timescale/pgvectorscale

Call GitHub Deployments API automatically after a Render deployment is started, canceled, successful, etc. It would be really useful to see all the currently running environments on GitHub with all the details: environment url log url deployment details date & time of deployment commit deployed etc.

I would love to be able to deploy from another host, from Subversion, or from a local repo.

We should be able to configure a firewall for webapps to block DDoS and other attacks.
