Nuxt on Render
Render publishes its own guide for deploying Nuxt.
Vue framework with file-based routing and a choice of static, server-rendered or hybrid output.
What Nuxt needs.
Every host claims to run Nuxt, so the claim on its own decides nothing. These are the things Nuxt actually requires from the platform underneath it, and what Render publishes about each. Render documents 3 of the 4.
Max request duration
Not documented
Nitro server routes and server-side rendering both run per request, bounded by this ceiling.
Edge network
Supported
Nuxt's route rules cache and revalidate at the edge. Without an edge network those rules degrade to origin rendering.

Build allowance
500 build-pipeline minutes a month on Hobby, 1,000 on Pro, 5,000 on Scale. Minutes, not builds.
Nuxt prerenders routes at build time when asked to, which moves cost from request time into the build allowance.

- Build pipeline — Render Docs ↗
“Each workspace receives a number of Starter-tier pipeline minutes per month, according to its plan: Hobby: 500 minutes Pro: 1000 minutes Scale: 5000 minutes”

Scales to zero
Supported
Nitro can deploy as functions. Scaling to zero removes the idle bill and adds a cold start to the first request instead.

- Free Instances – Render Docs ↗
“Render spins down a Free web service that goes 15 minutes without receiving any inbound traffic.”

Whether it suits you.
Workloads that need real background workers and persistent processes alongside web services, deployed from a repository or a Dockerfile. Managed Postgres and static sites run on the same platform.
Consider something else if…
Free web services spin down after 15 minutes without traffic, which makes the free tier unsuitable for anything that must answer immediately.
