render-scaling
Cursor Skill
Scales Render services—configures autoscaling targets, chooses instance types, sets manual instance counts, and optimizes cost. Use when the user needs to handle more traffic, set up autoscaling, pick the right instance type, reduce costs, or troubleshoot scaling behavior like slow scale-down or stuck instances.
Deploy, debug, and monitor applications on Render. Includes skills, rules, commands, an agent, MCP config, and hooks for the full Render workflow.

render-background-workersSets up and configures background workers on Render for queue-based job processing. Use when the user needs to process async jobs, consume from a queue, run Celery/Sidekiq/BullMQ/Asynq/Oban workers, handle graceful shutdown with SIGTERM, wire a worker to Key Value (Redis), or choose between workers and cron jobs for background work. Trigger terms: background worker, async jobs, queue consumer, Celery, Sidekiq, BullMQ, Asynq, Oban, job processing, SIGTERM, graceful shutdown.
render-blueprintsAuthors and validates render.yaml Blueprints for Render infrastructure. Use when the user needs to write or edit a render.yaml, wire services together with fromDatabase/fromService/fromGroup, set up projects and environments for multi-service apps, configure preview environments, validate against the schema, or fix immutable field errors. Trigger terms: render.yaml, Blueprint, IaC, fromDatabase, fromService, envVarGroups, previews, projects, environments.
render-cliInstalls and uses the Render CLI for deploys, logs, SSH, psql, Blueprint validation, and automation. Use when the user needs to run Render CLI commands, script deploys in CI/CD, authenticate with an API key, query services non-interactively, or troubleshoot CLI auth issues. Trigger terms: render CLI, render login, render deploys, render logs, render ssh, render psql, render blueprints validate, render skills, RENDER_API_KEY, non-interactive, CI/CD deploy.
render-cron-jobsConfigures and troubleshoots scheduled tasks on Render using cron job services. Use when the user needs to run something on a schedule, write a cron expression, set up a periodic job, migrate from Heroku Scheduler, choose between cron jobs and background workers, or fix a cron that isn't firing. Trigger terms: cron job, scheduled task, periodic job, cron expression, schedule, run every, timer, Heroku Scheduler migration.
render-debugDebug 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.
