Built with Cursor? Deploy it to Render.
Step-by-step deployment help for Cursor-built apps on Render. We fix deployment issues, configure Render correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Cursor issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation that affect Render deployments.
Exposed API keys in client code
Cursor often places sensitive keys and secrets directly in client-side components or .env files without the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix distinction, making them accessible in the browser.
Missing input validation on API routes
Server actions and API routes generated by Cursor frequently accept user input without sanitization or schema validation, opening the door to injection attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Cursor wraps code in try/catch inconsistently. Failed API calls, database queries, and file operations often crash the app silently or show raw error messages to users.
Race conditions in state management
Multiple rapid state updates or concurrent API calls cause stale data, UI flickers, and inconsistent behavior — especially in forms and real-time features.
Render deployment issues we check for
Common Render problems that break AI-generated 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
Can you deploy a Cursor-built app to Render?
Yes. We regularly deploy Cursor-generated projects to Render. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on Render.
What Render issues do Cursor projects typically have?
Cursor projects commonly have exposed api keys in client code and missing input validation on api routes. When deploying to Render, these combine with platform-specific issues like free tier services spin down after 15 minutes and build command not set for monorepo projects.
How do I get my Cursor project live on Render?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Cursor-built projects targeting Render, the typical path is: fix Cursor-specific code issues, configure Render settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Cursor app to Render?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Cursor codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring Render correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
