# Render Deploy Diff

Use this skill before deploy to compare required environment keys with what is currently configured on a Render service.

What this skill does

- required but missing on Render

- present on Render but not required locally

Inputs

- `RENDER_SERVICE_ID`

- `RENDER_SERVICE_NAME`

- `RENDER_API_BASE_URL` (default `https://api.render.com/v1`)

- `REQUIRED_ENV_KEYS` (comma-separated explicit required keys)

- `REQUIRED_ENV_FILES` (comma-separated files to parse, default `.env.example,.env.production`)

- `RENDER_ENV_VARS_JSON_PATH` (path to saved Render env-var API JSON for offline testing)

Run

bash scripts/render-deploy-diff.sh

With explicit required keys:

RENDER_SERVICE_NAME=my-service \
REQUIRED_ENV_KEYS="DATABASE_URL,DIRECT_URL,SHADOW_DATABASE_URL,NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL" \
bash scripts/render-deploy-diff.sh

Offline test with saved API response:

REQUIRED_ENV_KEYS="DATABASE_URL,NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL" \
RENDER_ENV_VARS_JSON_PATH=./fixtures/render-env-vars.json \
bash scripts/render-deploy-diff.sh
