Can you introduce yourself? -

What is your most typical use case you see online? -

How does this differ from classic IaaS or PaaS, with the spectrum of deployment approach spanning from "everything defined as code" to the Heroku-inspired "git push master"? -

Do you mean when you say that "legacy cloud" is focused on configuration? -

That's quite a claim in the reduction of team size! Have you got any public use cases you can share? -

I expect that Render is aiming towards automated DevOps and reducing toil? -

Why is now the right time to introduce another PaaS into the market? -

Do you run Render on a hosted Kubernetes service, or do you host it yourself? -

How are you using Kubernetes? -

Can I lift and shift my existing Kubernetes applications directly on to Render? -

Helm tries to lift the deployment abstraction above Kubernetes, but there are many other aspects of creating an application, such as building the code. Does Render have the concept of buildpacks? -

How do I connect services in the Render YAML? -

How does service discovery work in Render? -

Is there any concept of retries or circuit breaking at the network level? -

Can you do canary releases in Render, and if not, how do you do releases? -

How tricky is it for your team to offer a data store or a managed Redis in Kubernetes behind the scenes? -

What do you think about observability and understandability? -

As Render is building on top of CNCF components, what do you think of the CNCF landscape? -

How can technical leaders evaluate the choices between the cloud platforms and calculate the TCO? -
