Technical Sourcer, Render

Render has raised impressive funding, which has allowed it to develop and roll-out a number of innovative tools and features, including a free plan for web services and databases. This improves access to Render's platform, and helps to further scale its user base.

Render's main challenge is competing with large-scale legacy players, including the "big three": Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. However, so far Render has held its own, largely thanks to its superior flexibility, innovative modern features and competitive price.
