# Render

Render is a modern cloud platform for deploying full-stack applications, APIs, and websites. It offers a developer-first experience with automatic deployments, built-in SSL, and managed infrastructure.

## Features

- **Free Hobby Plan**: Free tier for development and small projects
- **Docker Support**: Native Docker container support
- **CLI & SSH Access**: Full CLI tooling with SSH access via `render ssh`
- **REST API**: Comprehensive API for programmatic provisioning
- **Auto Deployments**: Automatic deployments from Git repositories
- **Managed Services**: PostgreSQL, Redis, and other managed services

## Authentication

Render scripts require a `RENDER_API_KEY`. Get yours at: https://dashboard.render.com/u/settings/api-keys

The scripts will:
1. Check for `RENDER_API_KEY` environment variable
2. Fall back to saved key at `~/.config/spawn/render.json`
3. Prompt for the key if neither is available
