Render unveils a new object storage service called Render Disk at TechCrunch Disrupt, answering direct requests from its user base. This new feature allows developers to spin up cloud storage without the traditional headaches, eliminating the need to manually configure virtual machines, attach storage, and set up backup schedules.

In addition to the storage update, the startup introduces an infrastructure as code approach that relies on simple YAML files. Developers define their infrastructure requirements in this configuration file, push it to GitHub, and Render automatically builds the necessary environment on the fly.

Render also launches a convenient one-click launch feature designed for open-source tools and free trials. This functionality enables users to deploy complete applications directly from GitHub with a single click, loading all required files automatically to get projects running instantly.
