How to keep render instance active

Posted on Friday, 12 September 2025

A simple way to stop your Render project from going to sleep if you have a free tier.

  1. Go to keepalive
  2. Create an account
  3. Add the link to your api into the URL section
  4. Press keep alive

The will now hit the endpoint every 5-10 minutes ensuring Render wont put your service to sleep if it detects inactivity.

Hope this helps.
