Deploying with Render

To deploy your C1 application with Render, follow these steps:

1. Login to Render

   Login to Render using GitHub or any other way you want. You may need to create an account if you do not have a Render account already.

   
2. Create a new service

   Create a new service to deploy your application. For a C1 application, select the “New Web Service” option.

   
3. Give Render access to your repositories

   Give Render access to your remote repositories. If you have your application in a GitHub repository, select the “GitHub” option to give Render permission to access your repositories.

   
4. Select the application to deploy

   Once Render has access to your repositories, select the C1 application repository you wish to deploy.

   
5. Configure the service

   Configure the service by customizing the service name, region, and instance type. For a simple C1 application, the “Free” instance should suffice. Finally, add the THESYS_API_KEY environment variable (and any other environment variables you need) to the service.

   The “Free” instance of Render spins down after periods of inactivity and may take time to spin back up when accessed again. If you need more features and a permanently available service, consider upgrading to a paid plan.

   
6. Test it out!

   That’s it! Click the “Deploy Web Service” button to complete the deployment. Your application should be available at the URL provided by Render.
