Skill instructions
Render Persistent Disks Persistent disks are high-performance SSDs you attach to a Render service to preserve filesystem changes across deploys and restarts. Without a disk, services have an ephemeral filesystem—all local file changes are lost on every deploy. When to Use - Storing file uploads, CMS media, or user-generated content - Running a self-managed database (MySQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse) on Render - Deploying stateful infrastructure (Elasticsearch, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Mattermost) - Understanding why scaling is blocked or zero-downtime deploys are disabled - Restoring data from an automatic disk snapshot For managed databases, prefer Render Postgres (render-postgres) or Key Value (render-keyvalue) over self-managed alternatives on disk. Critical Constraints These constraints affect architecture decisions. Understand them before attaching a disk: | Constraint | Impact | |------------|--------| | Single instance only | Cannot scale horizontally (numInstances must be 1, autoscaling not
