Debug Render Deployments

Analyze deployment failures using logs, metrics, and database queries. Identify root causes and apply fixes.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when:

• Deployment fails on Render
• Service won't start or keeps crashing
• User mentions errors, logs, or debugging
• Health checks are timing out
• Application errors in production
• Performance issues (slow responses)
• Database connection problems

Render Access

Before reading logs, metrics, or database state, follow references/render-access.md to establish access and verify the intended workspace. Prefer MCP when available; the CLI can provide logs and deploy status, while metrics and structured database queries require MCP.
