Thanks to remininding me about render.com. previously when Forem was using elasticsearch as one of its default service, it is hard to configure things in render, but now as there is no elasticsearch things might move more smoothly.

I would like to try and have a sneak peek at how this all will turn out now.

Render has really come a long way. There is some weirdness if you try to add a custom domain before you finish setting up the Super Admin, but other than that it's been great.

It would be useful, of course :)

Nice, but can you shortly explain how your configured. Like did you used docker file or separately created a web service, private service and 2 background workers? As you already have a working instance, I would like to follow your path, rather than re-inventing the wheel. Could you give me a push?

I can make a docs guide for you guys. Would that be useful?

I'm still waiting for a guide to deploy Forem on render.com :) Did you changed your mind?

I will get started on the documentation today. It is still a very involved process so it could take several days to write it up properly.
