Feature Requests

I often write my apps with docker-compose to specify all the docker options. I would render to be able to read my docker-compose file, create all the services, and appropriately coordinate between them, as if I had simply run docker-compose up

Currently if there's a .gitmodules defined in the repository, then the build process always calls sync/update on it. However I've got a monorepo which has many different projects and i don't need to do the submodule sync for the particular deployment I'm using on render. what would usually be a 2minute process to build and deploy ends up being about 10minutes because its syncing submodules i'm not using anyway. removing the .gitmodules is not an option since it would break every one elses projects. i think this is straight forward for you since you already check if that file exists before calling the sync command. just need to add another flag/envvar

It would be great to have a way to host apps that are deployed in multiple regions, so the app is fast anywhere in the world. I guess this is quite a challenge, because you might also need a multi-region distributed database. But it would be great to have an easy way of building such an app without the dev-ops overhead.

I would like to have a sticky session feature that HTTP requests could be routed to an instance behind the load balancer

For more handy services observability it'd be cool to be able to assign different slack channels for services within one workspace

I would love to be able to deploy from another host, from Subversion, or from a local repo.

Just as your managed Postgres service, it would be great to have one for MySQL / MariaDB.

This would be useful for putting staging environments behind a company VPN to prevent unauthorized access.

Be able to configure/scope preview.generation per Environment (ex. staging), rather than setting it per workspace in a render.yaml. It'd be nice to have this support in a Blueprint or through the dashboard/REST for more flexibility.
