Blog post from Render
Rosalind Benoit, a member of Render's Growth Team and former systems engineer, shares her experiences with Render's 1-click deploy feature, highlighting its ease of use in deploying applications like OpenVSCode Server. She emphasizes the feature's potential to simplify deployment processes by removing barriers to entry, such as institutional knowledge, and integrating polished deployments into testing and CI workflows. Benoit describes the technical process of creating and deploying applications using Render's infrastructure-as-code functionality, including the use of Docker and render.yaml files. She also explores enhancing security through integrating OAuth2-Proxy for authentication, demonstrating the capability to consolidate infrastructure in a single render.yaml file. Additionally, she shares her personal journey back to using Linux as a desktop environment, supported by Render's tools, and emphasizes Render's ability to streamline cloud infrastructure management, allowing developers to focus on building and deploying applications efficiently.
