• I generated 207 MCP tools from an OpenAPI spec. Generating them was the easy part.

  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 / 25 days ago

• Seven Free Node.js Hosting Platforms Worth Trying in 2026

  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. Deploys are Git-driven, native runtimes handle most Node versions without a Dockerfile, one-click rollback works on all tiers, and preview environments are available with their own resource billing. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Best alternatives to Heroku in 2026

  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

• Why Vercel is still my default for shipping frontend projects

  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

• How to Get Your First Tool Online

  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 / 2 months ago

• Sanders introduces bill to raise minimum teacher pay to $60,000 a year

  What is that average cost of day care per child? The average in the USA per hour, according to urbansitter.com, is $18.36 for one child, and 21.23 for two children. What if you had 26 children I day care? Source: over 3 years ago

• How young did you leave your child with a sitter?

  There are tons of childcare websites and most of them require background checks. I always used care.com sittercity.com urbansitter.com Just make sure you call references and do a trial run with them! Also a perk if they are CPR certified but there are tons of resources out there.

• What should I expect to pay for a babysitter?

  I am a new parent and I have not yet had a babysitter (baby is 6mo old) but I was looking at urbansitter.com and it looks like around $100/year for the site membership fee and around $30/hr for a local babysitter. Source: almost 4 years ago

• help. we are SO burnt out but don’t trust anyone to watch the baby. what do i do?! 😭

  Find nanny's at the park, use care.com or urbansitter.com they do background checks, you can interview them and do a meet and greet and get recs. Source: over 4 years ago

• How much money would you give up to quit your job and be SAHM?

  We tried care.com, urbansitter.com, a nanny agency, the doula network, a local facebook group, and word of mouth. We interviewed a bunch. The number one issue was that we were not willing to pay them under the table but needed part time help. We were willing to pay extra, but nannies didn't even know how much extra to charge, they just didn't want the work. Source: over 4 years ago
