5. Connect your github account then select your blitz app repo

Without database:

Use this

# render.yaml
services:
  - type: web
    name: myapp
    env: node
    plan: starter
    buildCommand: yarn; blitz build
    startCommand: blitz start --production -H 0.0.0.0

With postgres database:

You first need to change the defined datasource in

-datasource sqlite {
-  provider = "sqlite"
- url      = "file:./db.sqlite"
-
+datasource postgresql {
+  provider = "postgresql"
+  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
+}

Lastly, use this

# render.yaml
services:
  - type: web
    name: myapp
    env: node
    plan: starter
    buildCommand: yarn; blitz db migrate; blitz build
    startCommand: blitz start --production -H 0.0.0.0
    envVars:
      - key: DATABASE_URL
        fromDatabase:
          name: myapp-db
          property: connectionString
databases:
  - name: myapp-db
    plan: starter
