Does Render support TanStack Start SSR and streaming?

Yes. TanStack Start builds a Node server through Nitro, and Render runs it as a web service. Create a Render-ready app with the TanStack CLI, or add the Nitro setup from the Start hosting guide to an existing app.

Can I run a database alongside my TanStack app?

Yes. Render Postgres and Render Key Value run in the same workspace as your app and reach it over automatic private networking, with no VPC to configure. Paid Postgres instances include point-in-time recovery.

How does Render pricing actually work?

Render bills three things: a flat workspace plan, compute for each service prorated to the second, and metered usage such as bandwidth. Hobby workspaces are $0/month plus compute, and free compute plans are available while you build.

What makes Render different from Vercel or Railway?

Render runs the whole backend rather than the frontend alone: web services, private services, background workers, cron jobs, durable workflows, Postgres, and Key Value in one workspace. Compute is a fixed instance size prorated by the second, so the bill stays predictable as traffic grows.

Does Render have pull request previews?

Yes. Every plan includes single-service previews for pull requests. Pro workspaces and above add full-stack preview environments that spin up your entire architecture for each change.

Can I migrate an existing TanStack app to Render?

Yes. If your app builds to a Node server or ships a Dockerfile, Render deploys it from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Add a render.yaml Blueprint to describe the service, and set NITRO_PRESET to render-com so Nitro builds the output Render runs.

To get started

Why TanStack teams choose Render

Render keeps the whole application, not just the frontend, on one platform. Here's what makes it the right fit for TanStack developers.

Node web service deploys

TanStack Start builds a Node server through Nitro. Render runs it as a standard web service with the render-com preset.

Pull request previews

Single-service previews are included on every plan. Pro and above add full-stack previews of your whole architecture.

Managed Postgres and Key Value

Run fully managed Postgres with point-in-time recovery, plus Redis-compatible Key Value, in the same workspace as your app.

Automatic private networking

Services reach each other over a private network with no VPC to configure. WebSockets and managed TLS are handled for you.

Zero-downtime deploys and rollbacks

Merges ship without dropping traffic, and you can roll back instantly to a retained build when a deploy goes wrong.

Load-based autoscaling

Horizontal autoscaling on Pro and above keeps services responsive through launch days and traffic spikes.

Blueprints as infrastructure as code

Describe your whole architecture in one render.yaml and version it with your app. The TanStack CLI writes the first one.

Protection built in

Every service gets a firewall and automatic DDoS mitigation. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and a GDPR DPA cover all plans.

Create a Render-ready app

The TanStack CLI adds the Nitro setup, the Node start script, and a render.yaml Blueprint while it creates your app.

terminal

npx @tanstack/cli@latest create my-tanstack-app --deployment render

Deploy the app

Enter your app

cd my-tanstack-app

Commit the Blueprint

git add render.yaml && git commit -m "Add Render Blueprint"

Push to your Git provider

git push origin main

What teams say after switching

Real teams, real migrations. These are quotes from engineers who moved their production workloads onto Render.

"It's been refreshing. We're saving money, shipping faster, and actually enjoying the way we work."

Head of Technology at Hodinkee

"There are fewer knobs to turn, and fewer things you're expected to be aware of."
