The easiest way to deploy your database - The Future of Qovery - Week #7
This series will reveal all the changes and features you will get in the next major release of Qovery. Let's go!

It has never been so easy to manage your database.
Applications that do not require a database are not usual. 96% of applications that our users deploy use at least a database.
Fun fact, I remember ten years ago when MySQL was the primary relational database choice. Things have changed! Now it's PostgreSQL that is the first choice from what we see on Qovery.
Deploying your database should be hassle-free as deploying your application. But this is where most Cloud providers have failed. They never succeed in helping you as a developer to deploy your application WITH your database. This is precisely what Qovery fixes!
The easiest way to deploy your database!
Deploying a database with Qovery is as simple as clicking on "Add a database" - Sorry if you expected something more complicated than that 😁.
You have the choice between the type of the database and the version. Today we support PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis. We expect to support more databases in the future. A third option is the "Mode" of your database. "Managed Service" and "Container" - Using "Container" allows you to reduce your operational cost and "Managed Service" to increase availability and performance.
Qovery supports proprietary databases.
You are using AWS DynamoDB, AWS SQS, and even Google Big Query? We are working on supporting those databases. I can't wait to talk about it in another thread. Be patient :)
Monitor your database
Qovery goes beyond app and database deployment. We ensure that your database operates well and runs efficiently. You will be able to keep an eye on the performances through your dedicated database summary page.
If you need to go into deeper details, you can install an APM add-on like Datadog and Newrelic.
Manage your backup
Finally, running your database is great, but keeping backups in case something goes wrong is better for your business. That's why Qovery will provide built-in database backup for everyone. This is up to you to enable database backup or not.
Bonus: view what apps are using your database
You can view in one click all the applications relying on this database. Life is beautiful, isn't it? :)
Conclusion
Deploying and managing your database should not be more complicated than deploying your front end or your backend. That's why the next release of Qovery will push simplicity farther than what we have today. My team and I are excited to release our next major version of Qovery's DevOps Automation tool. If you are interested in joining the beta in early June, let me know on Discord.

The shift from AI copilots to autonomous agents is redefining infrastructure requirements. Discover how to build secure, stateful, and compliant Agentic AI systems using Kubernetes, sandboxing, and observability while meeting EU AI Act standards
Effective Kubernetes management in 2026 demands a shift from manual cluster building to intent-based fleet orchestration. By implementing agentic automation on standard EKS, GKE, or AKS clusters, enterprises eliminate operational weight, prevent configuration drift, and proactively control cloud spend without vendor lock-in, enabling effective scaling across massive fleets.
A Kubernetes single pane of glass is a centralized management layer that unifies visibility, access control, cost allocation, and policy enforcement across § cluster in an enterprise fleet for all cloud providers. It replaces the fragmented practice of switching between AWS, GCP, and Azure consoles to govern infrastructure, giving platform teams a single source of truth for multi-cloud Kubernetes operations.
Deploying a Docker container on Kubernetes requires building an image, authenticating with a registry, writing YAML deployment manifests, configuring services, and executing kubectl commands. While necessary to understand, executing this manual workflow across thousands of clusters causes severe configuration drift. Enterprise platform teams use agentic platforms to automate the entire deployment lifecycle.
At enterprise scale, managing provider-specific Kubernetes YAML across multiple clouds creates crippling configuration drift and operational toil. By adopting an agentic Kubernetes management platform, infrastructure teams abstract cloud-specific configurations (like ingress controllers and storage classes) into a single, declarative intent that automatically reconciles across 1,000+ clusters.
To stop GPU costs from destroying SaaS margins, teams must transition from static to consumption-based infrastructure by utilizing Karpenter for dynamic provisioning, maximizing hardware density with NVIDIA MIG, and leveraging Qovery to tie scaling directly to business metrics.
AI is helping developers write more code, faster than ever. But writing code is only half the story. What happens after? Building, deploying, debugging, scaling. That's where teams still lose hours.We're building Qovery for this era. Not just to deploy your code, but to make everything that comes after writing it just as fast.
