Company mission

Qovery's mission is to be the glue layer between SREs and developers, so coders can spend more time coding.

Our take

The advent of cloud providers like AWS were initially an efficient, accessible way of managing tech company infrastructure. As they have expanded, however, the increasingly sprawling and complex services have begun to demand attention from developers - taking up valuable time which could be spent coding. This is especially a problem for smaller startups looking to scale, and Qovery is looking to help solve it.

Qovery is an AWS app development and deployment container for startups and enterprises, working as an abstraction layer between code and cloud infrastructure. It manages services on behalf of coders, thus freeing up valuable time writing code itself. Functionally, it’s a combination of AWS, Heroku, and Kubernetes, but with a few key differences. For example, users can host on their own AWS account instead of with a third party, and benefit from lower costs and cloud-cost optimizing features.

Whilst these capabilities don’t offer anything groundbreaking to the market, they are certainly practical, and likely appealing to developers frustrated by increasingly complex cloud infrastructure maintenance. This problem is, quite probably, only going to grow, so Qovery are making a smart bet.
