Hello Community! I was here to know about the feasibility of me moving from Heroku to Render rather than using Dokku. So, I will also provide a brief description of how my Heroku App works for you to understand.
My Heroku app uses two databases, namely Postgress and Redis. Within Heroku, I also use three buildpack (Nodejs, Ruby and PgBouncer) PgBouncer for pooling Postgress is really important to me. My app release will have two important workers, i.e., Web and Sidekiq.
So, anyone familiar with Ruby on Rails can get my settings, as it is the standard format for doing things. Keeping this aside for me to migrate from Heroku to Dokku is no brainer, but the fact that hosting all of these in a single dedicated server is not my thing. In fact, I always prefer various instances for various job.
Finally, I came across your platform, i.e., Render; the pricing is fabulous; I’m straight away blown away, I can’t stop mentioning it. I saw some comparisons with Heroku within the documentation, and then I started thinking of using render. But I’m a bit confused as I never configured things the way Render does. So if anyone can help me know whether my scenario is a possible case or not, it would be great.
I am not super familiar with PgBouncer so I don’t want to give any bad advice but you may be able to deploy it using Docker on Render Deploy Docker — How to Use Docker | Render
