Render Deployment - Quick Start

✅ What I Just Set Up

Created a production-ready Render deployment that runs your entire Polymarket trading system 24/7 for just $7/month.

Files Created

  1. render.yaml - Render configuration (auto-detected when you connect GitHub)
  2. RENDER_DEPLOY.md - Complete deployment guide with troubleshooting
  3. scripts/start_all.sh - Startup script that runs all 4 processes in one container

Architecture

Single Container ($7/month)
├── Dashboard API (port 8000, public)
├── Conservative Model (background)
├── Moderate Model (background)
└── Aggressive Model (background)
    
All share: /app/data/*.db (SQLite)

🚀 Deploy It Now (5 Steps)

1. Go to Render

Visit: https://dashboard.render.com/

2. Create New Blueprint

  • Click "New +" → "Blueprint"
  • Connect your GitHub account
  • Select: b1rdmania/polymarket-ai-trading
  • Click "Connect"

3. Add OpenAI API Key

  • Service will be created: polymarket-trading-system
  • Go to service → "Environment"
  • Add variable:
    • Key: OPENAI_API_KEY
    • Value: sk-proj-ieWz... (your key)
  • Click "Save Changes"

4. Deploy

  • Click "Manual Deploy" → "Deploy latest commit"
  • Wait 5-10 minutes for build
  • Watch logs to see all 4 processes start

5. Get Your URL

  • Copy the public URL (e.g., https://polymarket-trading-system.onrender.com)
  • Test: https://your-url.onrender.com/api/health
  • Should return: {"status": "ok", ...}

🔄 Update Vercel Frontend

Once Render is deployed, update your frontend to use the new backend:

Option 1: Update HTML directly

Edit vercel-frontend/public/index.html:

// Find this line (around line 20)
const API_URL = 'https://postposted-spent-knife-given.trycloudflare.com';

// Replace with your Render URL
const API_URL = 'https://polymarket-trading-system.onrender.com';

Then commit and push:

git add vercel-frontend/public/index.html
git commit -m "Update API URL to Render deployment"
git push origin master

Vercel will auto-redeploy in ~1 minute.

Option 2: Use environment variable (better)

  1. Go to Vercel dashboard
  2. Select your project
  3. Settings → Environment Variables
  4. Add:
    • Name: VITE_API_URL or NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL
    • Value: https://polymarket-trading-system.onrender.com
  5. Redeploy

Then update your JS to use the env var.

💰 Cost

$7/month (Starter plan)

  • 512MB RAM (might need upgrade to 2GB for $25/month if slow)
  • 2GB disk
  • No spin-down (24/7)
  • Shared database access

Free tier (if you're testing):

  • $0/month
  • Spins down after 15 min inactivity
  • Takes ~30s to wake up on first request

View Logs

Go to Render dashboard → polymarket-trading-system → "Logs"

Look for:

Starting Conservative model...
Starting Moderate model...
Starting Aggressive model...
All trading models started!
Starting Dashboard API (foreground)...

🐛 Troubleshooting

"Service failed to start"

  • Check logs for Python errors
  • Verify OPENAI_API_KEY is set
  • Make sure you're on Starter plan (not free with auto-suspend)

"Backend Not Connected" in dashboard

  • Check CORS is enabled in api/dashboard_api.py (it is)
  • Verify Render URL is correct in frontend
  • Hard refresh browser (Cmd+Shift+R)

Out of Memory

  • Upgrade to Standard plan (2GB RAM) for $25/month
  • Or comment out some models in scripts/start_all.sh

📝 Next Steps

  1. ✅ Deploy to Render
  2. ✅ Update Vercel frontend URL
  3. ✅ Test dashboard live
  4. ✅ Monitor logs for 24 hours
