Render simplifies the deployment and management of applications for developers and businesses through its cloud infrastructure platform. Users can deploy their code with just a few clicks by utilizing an "infrastructure as code" approach, which allows them to define and manage the necessary infrastructure through code. This makes it easier to automate and scale applications across various frameworks and languages, such as JavaScript and Next.js. Unlike many competitors, Render offers a freemium model, providing free instances for users to start with, while also offering paid plans for advanced features and better performance. The company's goal is to make application deployment more efficient and user-friendly, helping developers and enterprises focus on building their applications without the complexities of infrastructure management.

Serverless Cloud Platform Koyeb Now Lets Developers Spin Up Tenstorrent’S Ai Accelerators

Just a few weeks after chipmaker Tenstorrent raised nearly $700 million in funding, developers can now try out Tenstorrent’s AI accelerators on Koyeb. Tenstorrent sells AI processors built around the RISC-V instruction set architecture, and has developed its own open-source neural network library, TT-NN, and open-source low-level programming model, TT-Metalium.Tenstorrent is part of a group of companies trying to build alternatives to Nvidia GPUs and the company’s CUDA library. It competes with Axelera, Etched, Groq and others.Koyeb was founded by former Scaleway executives, and focuses on developing a serverless cloud platform for developers looking for an abstraction layer at the cloud infrastructure level. It competes with the likes of Fly.io, Railway and Render.Koyeb lets developers deploy applications across several virtual machines using a command line interface or a git push after integrating with the code repository. It supports Docker containers and many popular languages.One of Koyeb’s main features is that it can automatically scale an application to hundreds of servers if needed, and when there’s less traffic, it can automatically scale down server infrastructure.In recent months, Koyeb has been focusing specifically on AI apps. Due to the serverless nature of its platform, it can offer a low-latency experience for AI workloads.On the hardware front, Koyeb has deployed Tenstorrent’s PCIe boards in its data centers
