[Render](https://render.com) is a cloud platform for deploying and managing applications. The
[ParadeDB Render Blueprint](https://github.com/paradedb/render-blueprint) provides a one-click deployment
that runs ParadeDB Community as a [private service](https://render.com/docs/private-services) with persistent
SSD storage.

## One-Click Deploy

Deploy ParadeDB to your Render account with our Blueprint. You can customize the settings before deploying.

The Blueprint automatically:

1. Creates a private service named `paradedb` running `paradedb/paradedb:latest`.
2. Attaches a 10 GB persistent disk for your database data, mounted at `/var/lib/postgresql`.
3. Sets up `POSTGRES_USER`, `POSTGRES_PASSWORD`, and `POSTGRES_DB` environment variables.

## Connecting to ParadeDB

ParadeDB runs as a **private service** on Render, which means it is not exposed to the public internet.

### From Another Render Service

Connect from any other service in your Render private network using the service name as the host:

```bash
psql -h paradedb -U postgres -d paradedb
```

### From Your Local Machine

Since the service isn't exposed publicly, [SSH into the service](https://render.com/docs/ssh) and run `psql` from inside the container:

```bash
ssh srv-XXXXXXXXXXXXX@ssh.<region>.render.com
psql -U postgres -d paradedb
```

Replace `srv-XXXXXXXXXXXXX` with your service ID from the Render dashboard, and make sure you've added an SSH key to your Render account first.
