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.
