Deploy your Kotlin app to Render
Step-by-step deployment help for Kotlin apps on Render. We fix Kotlin-specific deployment issues, configure Render, and get your app live. From $19.
Kotlin issues we fix before deploying
Common Kotlin problems that affect Render deployments.
Coroutine scope mismanagement
Launching coroutines with GlobalScope or unstructured scopes that outlive their intended lifecycle, causing memory leaks and zombie operations.
Null safety bypasses with !!
Using the non-null assertion operator (!!) to force past null checks instead of safe calls (?.) or elvis operator (?:), causing NullPointerExceptions.
Missing lifecycle awareness
Android components that don't respect Activity/Fragment lifecycle, continuing operations after destruction and causing crashes or memory leaks.
Insecure SharedPreferences
Storing authentication tokens and sensitive data in plain SharedPreferences instead of EncryptedSharedPreferences or Android Keystore.
Render deployment issues we check for
Common Render problems that break Kotlin apps in production.
Free tier services spin down after 15 minutes
Render's free web services sleep after inactivity, causing 30-50 second cold starts that break webhook integrations and frustrate users.
Build command not set for monorepo projects
AI-generated monorepos lack a root directory or build filter configuration, causing Render to build from the wrong directory or skip the project entirely.
Persistent disk not attached for file uploads
User-uploaded files disappear on redeploy because AI tools write to the ephemeral filesystem instead of attaching a Render persistent disk.
Environment groups not linked across services
Database URLs and shared secrets are duplicated across services instead of using Render environment groups, leading to configuration drift.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a Kotlin app to Render?
We handle Kotlin deployments to Render end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Kotlin project, then we configure Render, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Kotlin issues affect Render deployments?
Kotlin projects commonly have coroutine scope mismanagement and null safety bypasses with !!. On Render, these combine with free tier services spin down after 15 minutes and build command not set for monorepo projects to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my Kotlin project to Render?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Kotlin applications to Render. We audit your codebase for Kotlin-specific issues, configure Render correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Kotlin deployment to Render cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Render deployment blockers in your Kotlin project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
