Qovery

Qovery is a DevOps automation and internal developer platform that abstracts the complexity of cloud infrastructure by deploying applications directly to the customer's AWS, GCP, or Azure account. Rather than hosting infrastructure itself, Qovery provisions and manages Kubernetes clusters and related cloud resources within the customer's own cloud environment, providing a PaaS-like developer experience while maintaining full ownership and control of the underlying infrastructure.

The bring-your-own-cloud model is Qovery's fundamental differentiator. By deploying into the customer's cloud account, Qovery ensures that data sovereignty is maintained, existing cloud credits and committed spend are utilized, and the organization has full visibility and control over the resources being provisioned. Security-sensitive organizations appreciate that their code and data never flow through Qovery's infrastructure.

The Qovery cluster management system automates the provisioning and lifecycle management of Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS, GCP GKE, and Azure AKS. Cluster creation, node group configuration, Kubernetes version upgrades, and add-on management are all handled through the Qovery interface, eliminating the need for DevOps expertise to configure and maintain Kubernetes infrastructure.

Environments are the core organizational unit in Qovery. An environment groups related services (web applications, APIs, databases, message queues) together with their configuration and networking. Environments can represent different stages such as development, staging, and production, or they can represent isolated workspaces for individual developers or feature branches.

Environment cloning is one of Qovery's most popular features. With a single click or API call, a complete copy of an existing environment is created, including all services, databases, and configuration. This enables instant creation of preview environments for pull requests, isolated testing environments for new features, and reproductions of production configurations for debugging. Each cloned environment is fully isolated from its source and can be modified independently.

GitOps integration ensures that the desired state of each environment is always derived from the Git repository. When code is pushed, Qovery builds the application, deploys the new version, and runs health checks. If the health checks fail, Qovery rolls back the deployment automatically.

The service catalog in Qovery supports web services, backend services, cron jobs, lifecycle jobs, and managed databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and others. Databases are provisioned using the cloud provider's managed database services (RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure Database) for production-grade reliability and automated backups.

Qovery's preview environments and developer self-service capabilities make it particularly well-suited for engineering teams that want to reduce the operational burden on DevOps while empowering developers to create and manage their own isolated development and testing environments.
