Free DDoS Protection for All Users

Render has become the first full-stack Platform-as-a-Service to offer free DDoS protection for all applications and websites hosted on its platform, utilizing Cloudflare's leading DDoS protection infrastructure. This feature, which launched without downtime, has protected against over a thousand DDoS attacks and also helps mitigate vulnerabilities like the log4j issue. DDoS attacks involve overwhelming a site with requests from multiple IP addresses, often using a botnet of compromised devices, making them difficult to mitigate without blocking legitimate traffic. By partnering with Cloudflare, Render ensures that its users' sites remain accessible and reliable, abstracting away DDoS protection as a zero-configuration service at no cost. This initiative underscores Render's commitment to reliability and allows users to focus on building and deploying applications without worrying about infrastructure threats.
