Render Deployment

To set up a new pair of render instances for a state, follow the below steps!

Create a new GitHub branch:

1. Create new branch: render-[state]
2. Open render.yaml for editing
3. Replace arpa-reporter-web with arpa-reporter-[state]
4. Replace arpa-reporter-db with arpa-reporter-[state]-db (in the TWO places it appears)
5. Save changes

Create new Blueprint instance:

1. Log into Render.com and load the USDR dashboard
2. Click on the Blueprints tab
3. Select New Blueprint Instance
4. Set Service Group Name to: [state] USDR ARPA Reporter
5. Select your new branch to load render.yaml from
6. Set the appropriate environment variables (for now, copy from an existing instance)

Once instances are set up:

1. Open the new web service
2. Click on the "shell" tab
3. Run yarn db:init

You're done! Open up the new site and log in.
