Render.com Latency Fix

Render free tier (Hobby Projects) is good for development but when it comes to prod it sucks.
It clearly states that

Your free instance will spin down with inactivity, which can delay requests by 50 seconds or more.

and 50 secs is a terrible amount of latency 😥

So to tackle this on free tier i have setup a uptime service using Uptime Robot

This platform pings your service every 5 mins (free tier) and if you want to cut this time further then you can upgrade your account

Simply create a monitor and enter your “/” or “/health” endpoint and your instance will get a req every 5 min

Problem Solved ✅
