Render boasts a streamlined experience of its developer service through a collaboration with Manifold -- a Cloud-native marketplace company. The two entities have joined forces to infuse Render's core offering -- add-ons that provide developers with "pre-integrated access to a variety of third-party Cloud services," with Manifold's Marketplace-as-a-Service.
Render is a relatively new developer service that launched in April 2019. The user experience of the program is a key focus of the company and automating Cloud infrastructure is at the core. The integration of features (such as marketplace) are launched to "keep pace with [Render's] explosive 50% month-to-month growth and more than 100 million requests every week."
The benefits of the developer service update are two-fold. For one, users gain flexibility and the power of choice. Secondly, it frees Render of some complexity in the execution and maintenance of relationships, as well as it allows for services to be added over time.
