Today, at Qovery we have moved from Slack to Discord. We are a software company solving developer problems - application deployment. Solving developer problems require to have a close contact with the developers community. For team communication, we used a dedicated Slack workspace, for community communication - another one. Discord has been a real lifesaver for us. Let's start to tell you why..

Between late 2019 and early 2020, I interviewed more than 200 CTOs of growing US and EU startups on the topics of the Cloud and their working methodologies. I discovered that 86% of these SMB startups use the Cloud and that 48% started their business on Heroku and then migrated to a Cloud provider - especially AWS (Amazon Web Services).

Kubernetes is the most popular Open Source technology of the last five years. Google created it to allow companies to use container (Docker) applications in production. Today, Kubernetes is the new standard for running applications in the Cloud or on its servers (on-premise). I even heard from a Cloud architect from Azure: "our customers no longer come to us to do Cloud, but to do Kubernetes". That's to say how much a utility software* upsets a whole ecosystem. Despite all the very positive elements we can read about Kubernetes, there are also dark sides. Here are the seven things that nobody will tell you about Kubernetes.

All developers are not equal, some know-how to deploy their applications, others don’t. But now it’s over! With Qovery, all developers can deploy their application in the Cloud in just a few seconds. Qovery integrates seamlessly with Github and requires no effort from the developer. We know how it can be painful for developers to deploy applications, manage staging/development/features environments, synchronize databases and all system stuff - even in the Cloud.  Developers should spend time doing what they love - developing applications, instead of wasting time on configuring databases, CDN, cache, network... That's why we decided to create Qovery. The first Container as a Service platform that allows any developer (junior, senior, backend, frontend...) to deploy applications in just a few minutes.

This week, Hashicorp announced the launch of their new product - Waypoint - aiming to simplify the way developers build and run apps in the Cloud and on any platform (like Kubernetes). The project is open source and is well adapted by the dev community. As CEO and co-founder of Qovery, I am enthusiastic to see this product live. At Qovery, we believe in making the developer’s life more accessible, and seeing big Open Source companies moving in this direction is a good thing for all of us. In this article, I will compare and contrast Hashicorp Waypoint to Heroku. Why? Because Hashicorp created Waypoint to provide an alternative to PaaS (Platform as a Service) like Heroku. Which is, in my opinion targeting two different types of developers. Let’s go TLDR; For devs, Waypoint is a higher-level of abstraction than Terraform, but it's not as simple as Heroku.

Qovery’s founding team (Romaric, Pierre, and myself) recently participated in the Techstars 2019 accelerator program in Paris. It was an intense 3-month experience during which we had an incredible time, both professional and personal. In this post, I will share a bit more with you about what this adventure was all about, but the main takeaway here is that it was instrumental in helping us lay the foundations for Qovery and establish our new mission. After those three incredible months, we are ready to carry on but before we do that, let’s take a little time to unpack everything while it is still fresh.  ‍

Back in the early days of software development, having multiple developers working on the same application was a tough challenge. That’s why VCS (Version Control System) like Git was created and methodology like Feature Branching was introduced.

Hasura is a turnkey engine that connects your micro-services and database to generate a real-time GraphQL API. That is super cool. Hasura and Qovery is a perfect match to deploy production-ready GraphQL service in just a few seconds. That's why the Hasura team invited us to show the world what we do.
