Render raises $100M at a $1.5B valuation
Read the announcementWhy deploy Remix on Render?
Remix is a full-stack React framework for building server-rendered web applications with a focus on web standards and progressive enhancement. It solves the problem of managing data loading, mutations, and page transitions by colocating server and client logic, enabling faster page loads and better user experiences without complex client-side state management.
This template gives you a production-ready Remix app with build commands and Node server configuration already set up for Render's environment. Instead of manually configuring your build output paths, start commands, and deployment settings, you get a one-click deploy that handles the remix build output structure correctly. Render's native Node.js support means zero Docker configuration, and you can instantly spin up preview environments for every PR to test changes before merging.
What you can build
After deploying, you'll have a live Remix application running on Render with the default starter template ready for customization. You can immediately start building out routes, loaders, and actions in the app directory while Render handles the hosting infrastructure. This gives you a working baseline to develop against without configuring servers or deployment pipelines yourself.
