Currently when we specify a Python version, Render will try to pull that version from its own cache, this results in building Python every time if the version is not cached by the Render team yet (such as the latest 3.14.2). To reduce the delay of having a new prebuilt Python version, and reduce the maintenance burden on the Render team, I suggest Render to support installing prebuilt Python version through uv. This can be done automatically as the default behavior, or if there are any concerns on having this as the default behavior, maybe a runtime initialization command hook can be added, which will be run before Render checking the Python version on the runtime environment and start the current workflow, then users could install Python by themselves through the init command.

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.

right now it matches the pr number but id like the commit title to be there just in case I'm juggling multiple at the same time I can quickly know what preview I'm looking at without having to go to the pr it came from.

We build our Blueprint yaml from a template and want to sync changes to the blueprint only after some checks were done or depending on the branch/tag/... Therefor it would be preferable if we could "manually" trigger the blueprint sync in the CI/CD pipeline. Through a hook/API call/.... The only current solution would be to call the API/get the blueprint/update the blueprint for autosync/ wait for the sync to happen/update the blueprint to disable autosync. It's doable but tedious

There's no African region making our apps build take a little longer to finish. It will be a lot better to have servers in Africa for faster build and deployment time.

When I'm tracking the build process, live tail reloads/refreshes and, as a result, truncates as new logs come in, which is inconvenient and time-consuming as I have to scroll up and load previous logs many times per build to confirm — otherwise I can't be sure if there are any gaps in logs I missed. I'm deploying a pretty straightforward Node.js app on the Web Service instance.

Sometimes we disable a service to run it locally in an isolated way, e.g., a single threaded worker that we can debug. We want a notification sent that the services was suspended. On resume, we want a notification sent that the service was resumed (it currently sends a "New Deploy" event to slack). fwiw, we use docker images.

Sometimes, a service is dependent on another service, like when a background worker is dependent on the main service getting updated and running migrations. It would be nice to be able to define this relationship in Render, so things like deploys can run sequentially.

We have an app that is deployed via Docker image through a Deploy Hook call from Github Actions. It would be great being able to pass a description to the Deploy Hook URL so we can have a custom deploy description in the deploy timeline events, such as the commit message of the commit related to the deploy.

I am hosting my own docker registry, and I would want render.com to be able to pull my images from it. Currently, providing a docker hub based username and password credential would give me a notification that render was able to connect and find the image in my registry. The logs in the registry confirm this as well. However, when I try to deploy the web service, render fails to pull the image from the registry. The logs indicate render provided the incorrect credentials when it attempted to pull the image. It seems like almost everything is there from render's side, and it just needs a bit of a modification for it to work. As a side note, the deployment works fine if I remove the credentials from the registry.
