Back in 2019, Google Firebase was becoming very popular. I was especially interested in the real-time capabilities โ they had just launched Firestore and I wanted to give it a try. I thought it would be fun to build a small tool for my team so we could do proper estimations. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
Then you log into Firebase and see it: The dreaded red box. Your APNs certificates have expired. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
Persistence: Firebase for seamless Google Authentication and session management. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
Firebase: Create a Realtime database, LINE Bot can remember your previous conversations, and even answer many interesting questions. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

I wanted neither, so I built render-useful-mcp: an MCP server for Render where every API tool is generated from Render's own OpenAPI document. All 207 endpoints, no curation. - Source: dev.to / 16 days ago
Render offers a free web service tier for Node applications, with 512 MB of memory and 0.1 CPU, that spins down after 15 minutes of inactivity and cold-starts on the next request.

Render is the closest structural match to Heroku on this list. It's built around web services, background workers, static sites, cron jobs, and managed Postgres and Redis, which maps almost one-to-one onto a Procfile plus Heroku add-ons. Buildpack-style auto-detection handles most language runtimes without a Dockerfile, and preview environments and one-click rollback exist out of the box. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
The other limitation is compute. Vercel Functions can handle APIs, server-rendered routes, streaming, and other request-driven tasks, and the current function limits are far more generous. But if your application requires a continuously running background process or custom Docker containers, Vercel isn't the right fit. There are platforms like Render or Northflank that are built for that kind of workload. Vercel... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
A host: A host is really just a computer that stays powered on and connected to the internet with a public address of its own. When a visitor types in the app's address, their browser sends a request across the internet to that machine, the machine runs the code, and it sends the finished page back. A laptop was quietly doing both jobs during the build, the server and the only visitor allowed in; a host is that... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
