Feature Requests

For financial services products (UK is a FinTech hub) many agreements require that data be located within the UK.

It would be great to be able to use the Render CLI to add/edit env vars for services and env groups instead of adding them one by one. Additionally, being able to fetch env vars would allow people to generate their local .env file by running a shell command (something we currently have setup for our Heroku services).

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

We can deploy many services on Render, such as Postgres databases, Cron jobs... and I would love to have the possibility to have my own SMTP server. I don't want to use third party services like Mailtrap or Sendgrid, hence my request.

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

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

For users who don't create PRs, enabling branch previews will serve the same function: automatic creations, updates, and deletions of services for all branches in the repo.

While it's great to have prebuilt plans, requirements vary a lot. Some service require almost no memory and a lot of CPU or the other way around. Right now, one always has to contact support for such custom plans, would be nice to have just select CPU/memory independent from each other for advanced plans.

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/
