This would allow users to manage infrastructure across different services using a single tool.

I'm toying with Jack Allen's provider as well. While I appreciate the effort, solo maintainers don't have the resources that first parties do. I'm a fan of Render, but not sold on the service without Terraform.

Lance Stephens render contacted me and mentioned they may be starting to build their own provider. So I guess watch this space

This is the only thing keeping me on Heroku. With infrastructure spread over multiple providers (secrets, databases, object stores, domains etc) every piece of infrastructure has to be part of the terraform config.

For Pulumi users looking for a provider... I created a native provider for Pulumi based on the API: https://github.com/cloudy-sky-software/pulumi-render.

Someone has made a terraform provider for render, but (right now) it's very new and it'd be good to have an official one for something so critical as render https://github.com/jackall3n/terraform-provider-render

iain: Yeah, I made this. It can create some simple resources, but an official one would be ideal

This would be amazing to have. If it was set up properly it could be integrated with a generic postgresql provider for terraform to additionally provision schemas and roles and whatnot.

any updates on this? Terraform integration would be a huge benefit to using Render at scale.

I believe this would also make Render manageable via Pulumi, as Pulumi can (IIRC) utilize Terraform providers.
