App Platform -- Static IP

Matthew Walden

We should be able to securely whitelist our infrastructure to access external resources, without apps being able to be given static IP addresses we can not use the service without opening our infrastructure to security problems.

I need this feature in order to allow a 3rd party to connect to my API hosted on app platform. They require a static IP.

Render.com is a PaaS and offers a static IP. I will be going over there for my server needs. Pricing is similar too.

Jesse

Yeah, it would be really nice to have this feature. Having a static IP is crucial for whitelisting, especially with some APIs having IP whitelisting security.

Hector Bas

Anyone have any workarounds for this while maintaining a static ip whitelist approach? Only thing I can imagine is adding a build/deploy step that reaches out to an external server which takes the current IP as an arg and updates the firewall settings on the necessary server, but still seems like a security whole if you don't put in any additional security checks...

Sad to see such an important feature missing.

This is such an important feature to be missing. I spent days doing numerous things to my client and server to get them to build on the App Platform, then hit this problem when I was just getting excited. I could have taken those days to rip my hair out via droplets and ssh. I am back to square one.

We'll have to go to another provider if this feature isn't implemented unfortunately
