Every Render releaseAdded Blueprint support for Render Workflows
You can now manage your workflow services using Blueprints , Render's infrastructure-as-code model. Define workflows alongside other service types in your Blueprint YAML.
See your service's deploys on a new page
Services now have a new Deploys page in the Render Dashboard. The Deploys page features: Your service's deploy history, without a date cutoff. A Live badge indicating the current deploy. Status of in-progress deploys. A banner flagging when auto-deploys are disabled.
Introduced the Flex compute plan for Render Workflows
Render Workflows uses a new default compute plan for task runs: flex . The flex compute plan provides up to 1 CPU and 4 GB of RAM. Task runs on flex are billed only for the CPU and RAM they actually use, resulting in significantly lower costs for computationally inexpensive runs.
Added usage telemetry to the Render CLI
The Render CLI now automatically collects usage telemetry to help us understand common use cases and improve user experience. Telemetry is enabled by default in version 2.26.0 or later.
New compute plans, and new IDs for existing plans
We're introducing new compute plans for Render services, including memory-optimized plans with higher ratios of RAM to CPU and a new 12-CPU tier for web services, private services, and background workers. To support the expanded catalog, we're also changing compute plan IDs to a spec-based format that includes the relevant specs.
Reduced median service build time by 40% (all runtimes)
Render service builds now run on nodes with faster CPU and disk. These improvements have reduced the median build time for a Render service by 40%, with this reduction reflected across all runtimes: Before this rollout (week of July 13), median build time was 38 seconds, consistent with prior weeks.
Managed OIDC now supports Anthropic and OpenAI
Render’s managed OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication now supports Anthropic and OpenAI in addition to AWS. Render services can authenticate to both providers without storing long-lived API keys. Render instead issues short-lived identity tokens for each service and automatically rotates them as needed.
Render MCP now supports OAuth for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor
The Render MCP server now supports OAuth-based authentication for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor: The MCP server continues to support API key authentication for other applications and non-interactive environments, such as CI/CD. See setup instructions for each supported tool in the documentation .
Also shipped on Oct 1, 2026
Render in October 2026Together Link beta
Together Link runs six coding agents on models hosted by Together AI: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi Code in the terminal, plus Claude Desktop (including Cowork) and ChatGPT Desktop. Install it with one command, launch your agent through it, and your normal agent configuration stays untouched. It's now in beta on macOS and Linux.
