I am super excited to announce that we have released our Slack integration. Then, you no longer need to watch your emails or keep watching the Qovery console to know if a deployment has occurred with success (or not 😁).

While Heroku is ideal for startups because it provides tremendous simplicity and time-saving; Still, when your application starts growing, and its architecture becomes complex, challenges related to DevOps, data security, and scalability begin to jump in. That’s where AWS takes over to help overcome these limitations. In this article, we will learn how to migrate your applications from Heroku to AWS in 5 simple steps with Qovery.

Have you ever wondered how much effort goes into providing a seamless authentication process on a platform such as the Qovery console? Needless to say, we do not take security or user experience lightly. That’s why we decided to combine SSO through our users’ Git provider accounts (GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket) with an external authentication service called Auth0. In order to accommodate our users' need to access the Qovery console through their CI/CD pipelines, we also elected to provide API Token generation for each organization, and relied on Spring Boot security to implement this feature.  Let me show you how we did it. But first things first, for improved security, we need to put JSON web token (JWT) authentication and authorization into place. Then, we can dive into the nitty gritty, and effectively create our API token using Spring Boot.

Docker is the industry leader in the world of containerization. While the concept of containers is not new, still, it was not easy to create new containers. The underlying operating system complexities of creating a container were very challenging. Docker changed that and made things easier by handling the complexities mentioned above to launch a container. It's now super easy for developers to build, manage, scale and deploy their applications securely using Docker.  In this article, we will go through best practices when using Docker containers. Using these practices will ensure you will get the most out of Docker, including better security, faster application startup, faster deployments, fault tolerance, etc.

A container is an isolated unit of software running on top of an operating system. Containers are getting popular among startups because containerized applications are portable, have built-in scalability fault tolerance, and promote faster development cycles. That’s why startups prefer containers for new application development to gain a business advantage over competitors who are still using VMs for application deployment and packaging. In this article, we will discuss the major benefits of containerization for growing startups and how organizations can take advantage of these benefits to make their applications a success. Let’s go through the critical points below!

We have completely updated our migration guide from Heroku to AWS. This guide covers everything needed to migrate from Heroku to AWS a complete stack of applications and databases.

At Qovery, we rely on Kotlin with Spring Boot to develop our API and Postgres as a database. When I joined the backend team a couple of months ago, we didn’t have a straightforward solution to handle database migrations. As production access is strictly limited, I had to depend on a teammate with admin rights every time I wanted to update the schema of the database. We needed to find a more appropriate long-term solution, as our team is fast-growing, and managing authorizations is bound to become even more painful. Eventually, we agreed to start using a database-migration tool and picked Flyway as the best tool for this job. The following article is about to show you how easily Flyway can integrate with an existing database using the Spring framework. It is not meant to provide a deep insight into Flyway, nor is it a step-by-step tutorial to set up the tool.
