Without database:

Use this render.yaml:

services:
  - type: web
    name: blitzapp
    env: node
    plan: starter
    buildCommand: yarn --frozen-lockfile --prod=false; blitz build
    # If you have an out of memory error, change startCommand to "yarn next start"
    startCommand: blitz start --production
    envVars:
      - key: NODE_ENV
        value: production
      - key: DATABASE_URL
        fromDatabase:
          name: blitzapp-db
          property: connectionString
    startCommand: blitz start --production -H 0.0.0.0

With Postgres database:

Update your render.yaml to provide the DATABASE_URL environment variable to connect to your database:

services:
  - type: web
    name: blitzapp
    env: node
    plan: starter
    buildCommand: yarn --frozen-lockfile --prod=false; blitz db migrate; blitz build
    # If you have an out of memory error, change startCommand to "yarn next start"
    startCommand: blitz start --production
    envVars:
      - key: NODE_ENV
        value: production
      - key: DATABASE_URL
        fromDatabase:
          name: blitzapp-db
          property: connectionString

databases:
  - name: blitzapp-db
    plan: starter
