SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Private services are internal-only apps that have no public URL and are reachable only by other Render services on the same private network. Use when you need internal APIs, microservices, gRPC servers, sidecars, or any component that should not face the internet.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • No public URL: private services communicate over the private network, keeping traffic inside your Render workspace.
  • Port-based communication: services listen on configured ports and can be wired with fromService for internal dependencies.
  • Lifecycle parity: same build/deploy lifecycle as web services, with support for disks, scaling, and Docker runtimes.

Quick Start

Define a private service in your Blueprint with type: pserv, then deploy to the same private network.
