What's new in Qovery

Supports of Scaleway and Digital Ocean

Because one good news does not come alone, Qovery also supports app deployments on your Scaleway (European Cloud provider) and Digital Ocean account. The main advantage of those two cloud providers is that they are cheaper than AWS. Very good for keeping your development environments costs low. Qovery supports native multi-cloud environments.

You are more and more to request to support GCP. You can vote here and explain why it makes sense to you. It helps us to prioritize development better.

Released date: September 11, 2021.

Cluster auto-scaling

Cluster auto-scaling can drastically reduce your Cloud cost with Cluster auto-scaling.

Qovery runs your applications on your Cloud account and your cluster (setup and managed by Qovery). Your cluster is composed of worker instances. Cluster auto scaling enables your apps to scale up and down based on your applications' CPU and memory usage. To keep your cloud cost low (without any performance penalty), Qovery auto-scale down your worker instances when not used. Then Auto-scaling can drastically reduce your Cloud cost.

Set up your cluster auto-scaling easily

Released date: September 11, 2021.

Member and role management

Qovery simplifies AWS permissions without compromising security.

If you are familiar with AWS IAM, you know how complex it is to give access to your teammates. Once again, Qovery simplifies (without compromise on security) providing access to app deployments to your team. Managing permissions is as simple as going into your organization settings and managing members tab. Read more

Organization members

Released date: September 16, 2021.

Billing

Well, we had thousands of community users requesting to have better visibility on their remaining Qovery credits. Now it is available via your organization settings > billing.

Improvements

Better app creation flow

Based on your feedback, we decided to let you configure the build mode and the port of your application right from the creative flow. You will save 3 clicks now :)

Smoother app creation flow

Released date: September 11, 2021.

Open URL button

Opening an application was not evident for everyone. We decided to put a dedicated "open" as it is an action made by every user.

Released date: September 11, 2021.

Other improvements

And obviously, we can not list all the improvements and bugs we fixed. But we can thank our community for being so involved in making Qovery better day over day. I want to thank Kartik, Aggis, and Stun3r for reporting bugs and suggesting improvements.

What's next

During the following weeks, our team will focus on delivering the features you are waiting for like:

  • Secure and straightforward member management
  • Application and environment Rollback
  • Deployment control
  • One-click clone environment
  • Cloud cost control
  • Static IP address support for AWS
  • One-click install Datadog
  • One-click install Gitlab CI
  • More…

Check out our public roadmap and vote for the feature you need.
