Migrate from Render
Put web Services, workers, scheduled jobs, and databases into one predictable resource pool instead of sizing each component separately. Tokay detects the application from the source and runs the whole Project on one dedicated virtual machine.

Render service types map directly
You can preserve the application's existing process layout. A Render web service becomes a web Service, a background worker stays a worker, and a cron job becomes a scheduled Service with a timezone, run history, Run Now, and incident email.
Connect the repository or add a Tokay remote, then review the Services, roots, build commands, start commands, and environment variables Tokay detects from supported source code.
Render environment variables, databases, and persistent disks map directly
You do not need to rename variables or redesign how Services reach their data. Render environment variables become encrypted Project secrets under the same names, while Postgres and Redis become Project resources shared by the Services that need them.
Persistent disks map to persistent directories. Keep the application's existing path or move file writes under /tokay/data, then import the files before cutover.
One machine replaces separate meters
The free Workspace receives 2 vCPU, 2.5 GB of RAM, and 20 GB of storage for all Services and databases. Paid plans increase the capacity of the dedicated Workspace machine, so web Services, workers, scheduled jobs, and databases stay together as the application grows.
Verify the whole Project before moving traffic
Export Render Postgres, Redis data, and persistent files, then import them into Tokay. Deploy each Service and verify its Tokay URL before moving the domain.
A coding agent like Claude Code or Codex can read the Render configuration, submit the source, set secrets through Tokay's GraphQL API, deploy the detected Services, and run those checks. It can leave render.yaml behind because Tokay analyzes the intent from the code.
Point your agent to app.tokay.io/llms.txt for the deployment protocol.
Deploy your first app on Tokay's permanent free plan without a credit card.
