I have a nodejs api that deploys perfectly, runs well while it has incoming traffic, but after it spins down it won’t spin up with new traffic, I need to manually restart it from the dashboard. From the docs:
Render spins the service back up whenever it next receives a request to process.
Spinning up a service takes a few seconds, which causes a noticeable delay for incoming requests until the service is back up and running.
I’ve done multiple requests, and the service stays down. After a few attempts, I always have to end up going to the dashboard, restart from there. Is there something to configure that I’ve missed?
If your free Web Service has a successful deploy, the spin-up on request shouldn’t need any further configuration.
