AI DevOps & CI/CD
AI DevOps is the practice of adapting CI/CD pipelines, environments, and deployment workflows so AI agents can ship code at machine speed - through governed, auditable paths that coexist with human Git workflows.
Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex turned your engineers into 10x developers. But your CI/CD pipeline - builds, tests, environment provisioning, deployments - was sized for human-speed development. The bottleneck flipped: it is no longer writing code, it is shipping it.
AI DevOps means two deployment paths coexisting on one platform: prompt-to-deploy from any AI agent for speed, and Git-push-to-deploy with Terraform and PR review for production - both policy-gated, both audited.
These guides cover the modern AI-assisted delivery pipeline: ephemeral environments, preview-per-PR, deployment automation, and the path off legacy platforms.

AI coding tools multiplied output and made CI/CD the bottleneck. How to handle far more deploys per engineer without adding headcount.
Why There's Never Been a Better Time to Leave Heroku (Especially in the AI Era)
Salesforce just put Heroku into maintenance mode and ended Enterprise sales for new customers. The AI era also flipped the migration math: what used to be a six-month project is now a one-prompt, agent-driven move to your own cloud. Here's why now is the best time to leave Heroku.

PaaS vs. DIY IDP: The Fastest Path to a Self-Service Cloud
Building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) from scratch seems cheaper, but the maintenance costs add up. Discover why a modern PaaS on your own infrastructure is the faster, smarter path to a self-service cloud.
The Secure PaaS Alternative: Keep the PaaS Experience, Run It on Your Own Cloud
Railway, Northflank and seven other developer platforms disclosed breaches in October 2026. Here is why a shared PaaS turns one breach into everyone's breach, how Qovery gives you git-push deploys while your apps and data run in your own AWS, GCP, Azure or Scaleway account, and what Qovery still holds.
Infrastructure for AI Agents: Migrate in Hours, Not Months (Live Replay)
Replay and key takes from our October 20 live with TPC: why Day Two is 80% of infrastructure work, why shared staging breaks when agents write the code, how agents cut migrations from months to hours, and how to keep agents under control with policy tokens and audit logs.
Northflank Security Incident (October 30, 2026): What Happened and How to Protect Your Secrets
On October 30, 2026, Northflank told all users to assume their environment variables were decrypted and to rotate every secret. Here is the verified timeline, what to rotate first, why shared platforms keep getting hit after Railway, and how Qovery limits the blast radius, including where we still hold secrets.
Plug Qovery Into the Kubernetes Cluster You Already Run
BYOK on EKS, GKE and Kapsule now runs through the Qovery Operator: install it once with Helm on a cluster you already run, and deploy Qovery's component updates from the Console. Now in Preview, for clusters without cert-manager, ExternalDNS or Envoy Gateway.
How to Stop Secrets Leaking From Your Deployment Platform, and How Qovery Stores Yours
Railway's disclosure of leaked customer environment variables is a reminder that deployment platforms hold the keys to everything. Here is how secrets leak from platforms, the practices that prevent it or limit the damage, and exactly how Qovery stores secrets across its control plane and your data plane, with AWS Secrets Manager, Parameter Store, GCP Secret Manager, Doppler and Infisical.
Sandbox Environments for AI Agents: A Full, Isolated Stack for Every Task
A code sandbox like Daytona or E2B isolates a process. A sandbox environment isolates a whole stack: services, databases, queues and configuration, cloned for one agent task and destroyed when it is done. Here is how sandbox environments work, what they are good for, and how to run them on Qovery.
GCP Out of Capacity? How to Offload Workloads to AWS Without Running a Second Platform
Google says it is compute constrained, and GKE teams now hit ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED on CPU machine families, not only GPUs. Here is what the error means, what Google recommends, what AWS can and cannot offer, and how to offload workloads from GCP to AWS with one platform instead of two.
Introducing Qovery Training: Learn the Console by Doing, Before You Touch Production
Qovery Training is now generally available to every Qovery customer. It is a sandbox copy of the Console on fake data, with 18 tracks for software engineers, DevOps, platform and security teams, a simulated terminal and AI agent, and training spaces where admins pick the lessons and follow their team's progress.
Vercel Ship 2026: 3 Takeaways, and What Vercel's BYOC Still Keeps Outside Your Cloud
Vercel Ship 2026 made three things clear: Vercel wants your backend, agents now trigger most deployments, and Bring Your Own Cloud on AWS is GA. Here is what each announcement means for platform teams, what Vercel BYOC actually runs in your AWS account, and what it leaves on Vercel.
DevOps Team Extension: Qovery engineers watching your infrastructure every month
DevOps Team Extension gives growing engineering teams a named Qovery engineer, a continuous infrastructure scan, and a monthly remediation plan, so they can scale reliability, security and compliance without hiring a DevOps team first.
Heroku to AWS in One Command, With an Agent Doing the Work (Webinar Replay)
Replay and recap of our live session: an AI agent reads a Heroku Rails app and deploys the full stack to AWS through Qovery from one prompt. Chapters, timestamps, the four ways teams leave Heroku, and the steps a human should still own.

Infrastructure automation tools by layer: provisioning (Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, CDK, Crossplane) vs. orchestration (Spacelift, env0, Scalr, Qovery).
Full Control Over Permissions, Welcome API Policy Tokens
API Policy Tokens let you control what a Qovery token can do action by action, using OPA and Rego, so an agent or script never gets more access than the one job it was built for.
Jira and Linear Are Now a Trigger Into Your Governed Infrastructure
Agent Triggers extend Qovery's control plane to a new entry point: a ticket. Tag it on Jira or assign it on Linear, and it triggers the execution of a governed environment on your own infrastructure, where an agent performs whatever action it's configured for, given the context of that ticket, under the same guardrails as any other workload.
