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.

Kubernetes is a distributed orchestration engine that automates container deployment and scaling. At an enterprise level, its core mechanisms—control planes, schedulers, and worker nodes—provide foundational infrastructure resiliency. However, operating these components natively across thousands of clusters creates massive configuration drift, requiring intent-based control planes to manage Day-2 FinOps, RBAC, and multi-cloud abstraction globally.
Kubernetes autoscaling relies on three dimensions: horizontal (pod count), vertical (resource size), and cluster (node count). While CPU-based scaling is standard, enterprise fleets require advanced Day-2 strategies (such as custom Prometheus metrics and priority-class overprovisioning) to prevent node boot delays and memory bottlenecks during severe traffic spikes.
Agentic Kubernetes resource reclamation is the practice of using an autonomous control plane to continuously identify, suspend, and delete idle infrastructure across a multi-cloud Kubernetes fleet. It replaces manual cleanup and reactive autoscaling with intent-based policies that act on business state, eliminating the configuration drift and cloud waste typical of unmanaged fleets.
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration engine. At enterprise scale, it abstracts infrastructure to automate deployment, scaling, and networking. However, managing hundreds of clusters introduces severe Day-2 operational toil, requiring agentic control planes to enforce global governance, security policies, and cost optimizations across multi-cloud fleets.
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.
