# Qovery

> The infrastructure platform for AI-assisted development, enterprise builders, and agent runtimes.

Qovery is a Kubernetes platform with a single standardized API consumed by a Terraform provider, MCP server, CLI, and AI Skill that Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and 20+ agents already use. It gives every human and every agent self-service on Kubernetes without losing control of security, spend, or your cloud.

Workloads never leave your VPC -- Qovery runs the control plane; your clusters run your workloads. SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant out of the box.

## What Qovery Does

- Manages the full lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters on AWS, GCP, Azure, Scaleway, OpenShift, and on-premise
- Provides a single API that powers every interface: web console, CLI, Terraform, MCP, and AI Skill
- Enforces RBAC, policy-as-code, and audit trails for both human and AI agent actions
- Deploys containers, Helm charts, cron jobs, and lifecycle jobs with zero-config CI/CD
- Right-sizes resources and tracks cloud spend across all clusters

## AI & Agentic Deployments

Qovery is built for AI agents. Two complementary interfaces let any agent deploy, scale, debug, and manage infrastructure by conversation:

- **MCP Server** -- Model Context Protocol server that exposes Qovery's full API to any MCP-compatible agent. Runs locally via `qovery mcp start`. Standard open protocol; no custom integration code.
- **AI Skill** -- Higher-level skill packages that analyze your code, generate Dockerfiles, provision databases, wire environment variables, and deploy -- all from a single natural-language prompt.

### Quickstart

```
# MCP Server (works with any MCP-compatible agent)
brew install qovery-cli
qovery auth
qovery mcp start

# AI Skill (one-line install for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, etc.)
curl -fsSL https://skill.qovery.com/install.sh | sh
```

## Use Cases

### 10x Dev Velocity

AI coding tools turned every engineer into a 10x developer. Your CI/CD pipeline is the bottleneck. Qovery removes it.

- [CI/CD for AI-Assisted Dev](https://www.qovery.com/solutions/ai-cicd): Prompt-to-deploy and GitOps on one platform. Two deployment paths -- AI agents and Git merges -- same guardrails, same audit trail.
- [Ephemeral Environments](https://www.qovery.com/solutions/ephemeral-environments): Kill the staging bottleneck. Full-stack preview per pull request with databases, seeded data, real TLS.

### Vibe Coding

Non-technical teams are building apps on Lovable and Replit with company data and zero governance. Qovery gives them a controlled platform instead.

- [Self-Service for Builders](https://www.qovery.com/solutions/self-service-builders): Give non-technical builders (finance, sales, product) pre-configured environments with SSO, network isolation, and full audit trails. Based on real enterprise use cases from companies like Tomorro.

## Alternatives Comparisons

### AI Builder & Agent Sandbox Alternatives
- [Qovery vs Lovable](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/lovable): The enterprise alternative to Lovable. Deploy on your own cloud (BYOC) with SSO, RBAC, private networking, audit trails, and any backend language. Lovable is multi-tenant only, React + Supabase only, no VPC peering.
- [Qovery vs Daytona](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/daytona): Go beyond sandboxes. Daytona provides isolated agent sandboxes but has no deployment pipeline, no production hosting, and no multi-service environments. Qovery covers sandbox to staging to production with enterprise governance.
- [Qovery vs Bolt.new](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/bolt): Take Bolt.new prototypes to production. Bolt.new has no SSO, no RBAC, no audit logs, no compliance certifications. Qovery deploys AI-built apps on your own cloud with full enterprise controls.

### Legacy Kubernetes Platform Alternatives
- [Qovery vs OpenShift](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/openshift): Replace OpenShift's per-core licensing and proprietary operators with standard Kubernetes on EKS, GKE, or AKS. Predictable pricing, automated Day-2 ops, AI agent support via MCP Server. No Red Hat lock-in.
- [Qovery vs Rancher](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/rancher): Go beyond cluster management. Rancher manages clusters but doesn't include CI/CD, preview environments, or promotion pipelines. Qovery is the complete platform — no assembly required.
- [Qovery vs Nutanix](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/nutanix): Free Kubernetes from the Nutanix HCI stack. Run identically on Nutanix, AWS, GCP, Azure, or bare-metal. Simple per-cluster pricing instead of hardware-tied licensing tiers.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What is Qovery?** Qovery is a Kubernetes management platform that gives developers and AI agents self-service deployment on your own cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure). It manages the full lifecycle: provision clusters, deploy apps, observe, optimize costs, and enforce security — all from a single API.
- **How does Qovery work with AI agents?** Qovery provides an MCP Server and AI Skill that let any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI) deploy, scale, and debug infrastructure through conversation. Agents get the same governed access as humans.
- **Is Qovery a PaaS?** No. Qovery is a Kubernetes control plane that runs on your own cloud account (BYOC). Your workloads never leave your VPC. Unlike PaaS platforms, you own the infrastructure and can eject at any time — your clusters remain standard EKS/GKE/AKS.
- **What is the best alternative to Heroku for production?** Qovery is used by many teams migrating from Heroku to AWS. You get the same developer experience (git push to deploy) with full infrastructure ownership, Kubernetes-native scaling, and enterprise compliance.
- **What is the best alternative to OpenShift?** Qovery replaces OpenShift with standard Kubernetes, predictable pricing, and AI agent support. No per-core licensing, no proprietary operators, no Red Hat lock-in.
- **How do I deploy AI agent-written code safely?** Use Qovery's sandbox-to-production governance. Agents write code in isolated environments with scoped secrets and network isolation, then deploy through a governed pipeline to staging and production. Every action is logged and attributed.
- **What is an Internal Developer Platform?** An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) gives developers self-service access to infrastructure without requiring deep Kubernetes expertise. Qovery is an IDP that supports both human developers and AI agents.
- **How much does Qovery cost?** Qovery starts at $299/month for the Starter plan. Enterprise pricing is based on cluster count and features. There is a free trial with no credit card required.
