Render Private Services
Private services are identical to web services except they have no public URL. They are reachable only by other Render services on the same private network (same region + workspace). Use them for internal APIs, microservices, gRPC servers, sidecar processes, and anything that should never face the internet.
When to Use
- Building an internal API or microservice behind a public gateway
- Running a gRPC, TCP, or other non-HTTP server that only your services call
- Deploying infrastructure components (Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, RabbitMQ)
- Choosing between a private service and a background worker
For public-facing HTTP services, use render-web-services. For services that don't receive any traffic, use render-background-workers.
Private Service vs Background Worker

render-deploy
Deploy applications to Render by analyzing codebases, generating render.yaml Blueprints, and providing Dashboard deeplinks. Use when the user wants to deploy, host, publish, or set up their application on Render's cloud platform.
59render-debug
Debug failed Render deployments by analyzing logs, metrics, and database state. Identifies errors (missing env vars, port binding, OOM, etc.) and suggests fixes. Use when deployments fail, services won't start, or users mention errors, logs, or debugging.
47render-monitor
Monitor Render services in real-time. Check health, performance metrics, logs, and resource usage. Use when users want to check service status, view metrics, monitor performance, or verify deployments are healthy.
46render-workflows
Sets up, develops, tests, and deploys Render Workflows. Covers first-time scaffolding (via CLI or manual), SDK installation (Python or TypeScript), task patterns (retries, subtasks, fan-out), local development, Dashboard deployment, and troubleshooting. Use when a user wants to set up Render Workflows for the first time, scaffold a workflow service, add or modify workflow tasks, test workflows locally, or deploy workflows to Render.
35render-migrate-from-heroku
Migrate from Heroku to Render by reading local project files and generating equivalent Render services. Triggers: any mention of migrating from Heroku, moving off Heroku, Heroku to Render migration, or switching from Heroku. Reads Procfile, dependency files, and app config from the local repo. Optionally uses Heroku MCP to enrich with live config vars, add-on details, and dyno sizes. Uses Render MCP or Blueprint YAML to create services.
