Added documentation for deploying RivetKit applications to Render with a self-hosted Rivet Engine. This guide complements the existing self-hosting documentation and provides a complete workflow for running RivetKit apps on Render's platform.
Includes:

  • Blueprint and manual deployment options
  • Environment variable configuration
  • Runner configuration steps
  • Test commands to verify deployment
  • Troubleshooting for common issues (502 errors, WebSocket protocol, build failures)

Type of change

[x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
[x] This change requires a documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Deployed RivetKit hello-world app to Render using the documented steps
  • Verified runner configuration connects successfully to self-hosted Rivet Engine
  • Tested actor creation and action invocation via curl commands
  • Confirmed WebSocket connection works with hex-encoded tokens
