For scaling businesses, transitioning from PaaS (Platform as a Service) to IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is less about a choice and more about necessity. Staying on PaaS too long can result in skyrocketing costs, limited flexibility, and performance bottlenecks - challenges that only grow as your workloads and team scale. This guide breaks down the essential steps for a successful migration to cloud providers like AWS, GCP or Azure, highlighting common pitfalls, and offers best practices to help you navigate the transition effectively.

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend AWS re:Invent 2024 in Las Vegas with Pierre (CTO), Morgan (CRO), and Alessandro (Lead PM) from the Qovery team. Re:Invent brought together over 60,000 cloud enthusiasts, and being part of it was both exhilarating and inspiring. For me, this wasn’t just about pitching our product; it was about sharing our passion for solving real-world problems, meeting amazing people, and embracing the energy of this global cloud community. Here are the lessons I learned from re:Invent.

I recently had a conversation with one of our customers at AWS re:Invent that made me rethink the true value of automation. This customer told me, “You’ve automated so much for us that we almost forget about Qovery. Nobody even asks how to do things anymore.” That statement stuck with me. It highlighted the point that true automation isn’t about making developers think about the tools they’re using—it’s about seamlessly handling tasks so well that they become invisible. This got me thinking: This is exactly the kind of automation every team should strive for.

Managing Kubernetes clusters has always been a significant challenge. AWS’s recent announcement of EKS Auto Mode aims to simplify this by automating key operational tasks like compute scaling, networking, and storage management. While it’s a step forward for reducing complexity, it doesn’t address all the unique needs of growing startups and mid-sized companies. This guide evaluates the three best options, comparing their key features to help you decide which platform aligns with your technical and business priorities.

As businesses scale, managing infrastructure becomes increasingly complex and distributed, leading to challenges in consistency, performance, and security. Manual configurations and outdated practices can no longer meet the demands of today’s highly competitive businesses. To tackle these issues, adopting a phased approach; Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2; provides a practical roadmap for scaling infrastructure automation effectively. Each phase addresses specific challenges and lays out actionable strategies to simplify operations, improve performance, and enhance security. Let's explore these phases in detail along with practical insights for teams to build, scale, and optimize infrastructure without requiring deep DevOps expertise.

We're excited to announce a significant enhancement to Karpenter, an intelligent Kubernetes autoscaling solution that automatically optimizes your infrastructure costs and performance. Since integrating Karpenter six months ago, it has helped our users automatically provision the right AWS instances for their workloads. Today, we're taking this automation to the next level by introducing Instance Type Filtering, giving you precise control over which AWS instances Karpenter can use when scaling your applications.

Managing resource scaling in EKS clusters can quickly become complex, especially with fluctuating workloads. Traditional autoscaling solutions often require predefined configurations, which can lead to inefficiencies and unnecessary costs. This is where Karpenter comes in—a powerful, open-source project designed to dynamically manage and scale nodes in response to real-time application demands. By automatically provisioning resources exactly when they’re needed, Karpenter offers a more streamlined, efficient approach to scaling. Let's discuss Karpenter’s standout features and benefits, and we'll walk you through a step-by-step guide to deploying it on your EKS cluster.

Startups relying on Heroku often hit roadblocks as they scale. Rising costs, technical limitations, and lack of control over infrastructure force many to explore alternatives. One such startup recently migrated 37 applications from Heroku to AWS using Qovery’s DevOps AI Migration Agent. Here’s how they accomplished this migration in less than two hours, saving days of manual work.

Sometimes, even when you’re running on a solid infrastructure like AWS EKS, a growing company needs to rethink how they manage it. One startup, fresh off a successful Series A raise, found themselves in just that situation. They had been running two EKS clusters — Production and Staging — managed entirely by their CTO, who is an experienced AWS power user. But with the company scaling and a larger software engineering team on the horizon, they faced a crucial decision: hire their first DevOps Engineer or delay that hire by using Qovery. Here’s why they chose the latter.
