Stacktape vs. 
Render
Render is a modern PaaS provider. It offers developer-friendly deployment and infrastructure management experience.
Render is built on top of AWS and fully abstracts the underlying AWS concepts. This means it's easy to pick up and use, but offers less flexibility and control.
Stacktape brings the deployment and development simplicity of a PaaS platform directly to your own AWS account. Thanks to that, it offers more power, supported use-cases and flexibility. On top of that, it's way less expensive at scale.
