Render will give each PR in a GitHub stack its own preview from November 18

cloud-hostingpreview-environmentsworkflowspricingruntimesdeveloper-tools
◆Current state
Render's recent entries are small and practical. Key Value gained two plans and cheaper larger tiers, Workflows can be managed through Blueprints, Bun canary builds are supported, and new Node.js and Bun services default to newer versions. The newest entry announces that from November 18, 2026, each pull request in a GitHub PR stack will get its own service preview and preview environment.
◆Where it's heading
The changelog is tuning pricing and runtimes while filling in Workflows, and now reaches into review flow with stacked-PR previews. Most changes are opt-in or default shifts rather than new products.
◆Prediction
Expect a follow-up note when stacked-PR previews go live on November 18; the entry does not yet say how preview limits or billing apply per PR in a stack.

    Upcoming service preview and preview environment support for GitHub stacked PRs

    Starting November 18, 2026, each pull request in a GitHub PR stack gets its own service preview and preview environment instead of sharing one. It is the first review-workflow change in a changelog that has otherwise been plan and runtime tuning, and matters to teams that split large changes into stacked PRs.

    Updated default versions of Node.js and Bun

    New Node.js and Bun services now start on newer default runtime versions. Existing services are unaffected; this is routine upkeep.

    Added support for Bun canary builds

    Bun canary builds are now supported, letting teams test upcoming Bun releases on Render before they ship. A small option that fits Render's habit of tracking Bun closely.

    Added two Key Value plans and lowered prices for larger existing plans

    Two new Key Value plans arrive and the larger existing plans get cheaper. Like August's compute plan changes, it adjusts the price ladder rather than adding a product.

    Added Blueprint support for Render Workflows

    Workflows can now be defined in Blueprints, Render's infrastructure-as-code format. It brings the newest service type into the same config-as-code path as web services and databases.

    See your service's deploys on a new page

    The new Deploys page consolidates deploy history for a service in a dedicated dashboard view — previously scattered across logs and activity feeds. A UX improvement that matters for debugging deploy failures and tracking rollout history.
