Server does not wake up (apparently)

Hi!

I created a middleware (just some code that receives a webhook from shopify, and sends a request to other endpoint, and then sends a couple of emails, that’s it). This was hosted on Glitch, and working fine, but we moved to Render, because Glitch closed.

Mi middleware was working fine on Render initialiu, except now it doesn’t work. Even if I hit “Restart Service”. However, I just did a “Clear build cache and deploy” and It works. I know about “Your free instance will spin down with inactivity, which can delay requests by 50 seconds or more.” but it seems it spins up at all.

I can send “dfummy” orders from shopify, and, when I send a couple of them after doing “Clear build cache and deploy” some the events console on render shows activity, and I get the email, but, apparently after some hours, it does not work anymore.

Can you help me understand what is going wrong? Do you think upgrading to “Sarter” can fix this problem? I have to explain my client.

I tried to share here the url of my entry point file, but I get a message that I can’t share links :frowning:

Thanks in advance.
