We're removing seat fees from our pricing. Our new Pro plan is $25/mo, flat. Add your entire team at no additional cost. We've structured our new plans from the ground up to make pricing fairer and more scalable for teams shipping faster with AI. What we're changing 🧵




Every team we talk to is duct-taping together queues, cron jobs, and retry logic. We just mass-deleted all of it. Render Workflows is live. One annotation turns any function into a production-grade async workflow. Retries, parallelism, nesting, sequencing, and complete observability. No queues. No workers. No schedulers. What are you going to convert to Workflows?


Cloud startup Render raises funding at $1.5 billion valuation as AI-built apps boom cnbc.com/2026/02/17/ren…

Base44 is on @render. Their brilliant Super Bowl ad drove massive demand—and the platform scaled without a hiccup. This isn’t our first rodeo. The Pete Buttigieg campaign ran on Render, handling debate-night traffic spikes effortlessly. If you’re building for big moments, build on Render.

Heroku is transitioning to a sustaining engineering model focused on stability, security, reliability, and support. Heroku remains an actively supported, production-ready platform, with an emphasis on maintaining quality and operational excellence rather than introducing new features. We know changes like this can raise questions, and we want to be clear about what this means for customers. There is no change for customers using Heroku today. Customers who pay via credit card in the Heroku dashboard—both existing and new—can continue to use Heroku with no changes to pricing, billing, service, or day-to-day usage. Core platform functionality, including applications, pipelines, teams, and add-ons, is unaffected, and customers can continue to rely on Heroku for their production, business-critical workloads. Enterprise Account contracts will no longer be offered to new customers. Existing Enterprise subscriptions and support contracts will continue to be fully honored and may renew as usual. Why this change We’re focusing our product and engineering investments on areas where we can deliver the greatest long-term customer value, including helping organizations build and deploy enterprise-grade AI in a secure and trusted way.









@GoogleAIStudio is so great for prototyping, @GeminiApp model is superb. Now the bottleneck is your deployment process and missing feature to directly wire to a domain. As a software engineer and @googlecloud user I understand why you ask for this piece of information, but you should really go try @Lovable and v0 and @bolt and shorten user friction in development. If we can make it work for user with one click, don't ask for two. That said, @GoogleAIStudio studio is amazing.

It’s 2033. Databricks raises a Series Y. Valuation hits $10 trillion. IPO imminent
