About Render
Render runs a build-speed campaign while hardening the platform for larger teams
Render is in the middle of a sustained build-performance campaign — median build times cut for Docker (60%), Node.js (25%), and Python (27%) services in recent weeks. Around it sit platform-maturity features: AWS authentication via OIDC, ephemeral-instance SSH, dedicated outbound IPs, Key Value persistence modes, and dashboard-level control over a service's backing repo or image.
