Case Study: Thatch achieves HIPAA-compliant, faster engineering velocity with Render

How Thatch is Building the Flexible Future of Healthcare Benefits on Render

Thatch, a healthcare benefits startup, needed a reliable, secure, and compliant way to ship its platform quickly while meeting HIPAA and SOC 2 requirements. By using Render’s cloud application platform, Thatch could keep its engineering team focused on product development instead of infrastructure and compliance overhead.

With Render, Thatch implemented private networking, data encryption, audit controls, and seamless GitHub/CI/CD workflows across production, staging, and demo environments. The result was faster delivery with strong reliability and compliance support, including 6–8 minutes from committed PR to production and a half-day setup for a hosted Metabase instance that helped the whole company make better data-driven decisions.
