What is render-disks?

Attaches and manages persistent disks on Render services—mount paths, sizing, snapshots, file transfers, and single-instance constraints. Use when the user needs persistent storage, file uploads, a custom database on disk, CMS media storage, or needs to understand why their service can't scale horizontally or use zero-downtime deploys. Trigger terms: persistent disk, disk, storage, mount path, sizeGB, SSD, file uploads, snapshots, disk restore, ephemeral filesystem.

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.
