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.

Kotlin is a programming language over the JVM (like Java). It is well known for being the official programming language for Android. But Kotlin is a reliable and powerful programming language that can also be used for server-side applications.

Nowadays, Slack is often the default choice for an online communication tool in the tech industry. Startups, enterprises, open-source projects - they all use Slack to communicate within their organization but sometimes also with their users and community. Our startup was no different. In this article, I explain what made us look for a Slack alternative and what are our impressions after a month of switching to Discord, so you can learn from those before you make your decision.

Heroku and AWS (Amazon Web Services) are the two most commonly used cloud services in present times. It lets a business deploy, monitor, and scale mobile and web applications. Both services are great for hosting applications and offer cloud computing resources.  Choosing the best hosting service becomes difficult when you glance at the plethora of products that AWS offers. If you are planning to switch to AWS from Heroku, you have come to the right place. This detailed article will tell you why AWS is the better choice for you in the long run.
