I've been thinking about switching to Render recently, but there's one feature blocking me: the ability to deploy an existing docker image from a private registry [1]. As far as I can tell, you have to connect a repo to deploy a Render service.. and monorepos are not fully supported yet either.

Is your 2021 roadmap public, or is Canny your official roadmap? Really interested to see what's coming soon :)

Btw, I've been working at Canny for the past year and was pleasantly surprised to see your feedback site!

I recently noticed that DigitalOcean App Platform allows you to pull an image from a private DO registry. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but I’m excited to see if it might allow me to delete some CI/CD infrastructure glue code.

Last time I tried Render I couldn’t find a way of easily deploying an existing image.

Yeah, DigitalOcean's App Platform recently added support for custom images this year [1] (I was also waiting for that). I'm currently running a $5 droplet for my service [2] powered by docker-compose, but really looking forward to deleting some bash scripts and going all in on Render or Fly.io :)

feedback.render.com is as close to a public roadmap as we'll get. Big fan of Canny: it plays a big role in our product prioritization.

Private registries likely in 2021; we're actively hiring! https://render.com/jobs

Thanks for the response! Great to know it's on the way
