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

It would be nice to have GPU instances on Render for easy ML training.

uv is an extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust. Supporting this will make deployments way faster. Instead of "poetry install" for Build Command, will be great to have available "uv install" This is uv: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/

While Render supports storing data on disks, it would be great to have a really easy to use object storage feature with the capabilities of AWS S3. This would be accessible via S3-compatible APIs and will be used to store arbitrary blobs like images and videos.

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

I would like an easy way to deploy and connect to a MongoDB instance in Render.

According to the documentation, the deployment downtime with disks is in the order of few seconds. However, with my current test Go app, re-deployment time in frankfurt region takes around a minute and more. I'd love to see this time-span shorter.

I can use Docker to run PHP apps but it would be great to have native PHP support in Render.

Sometimes there's a need to suspend and then resume a service (for example, when performing maintenance actions like migrations). This is inconvenient when Render triggers a new build when the service is resumed.

Calling the healthcheck every 5 seconds clutters up the logs in my app, and also feels a little unnecessary. It would be great to be able to change it to every minute or every 5 minutes etc.
