Ensuring efficient deployment and management of containerized applications is critical to development teams across all possible industries in today’s cloud-native world. A standout service for many has been AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS), which has proven to be scalable and easy to use while integrated into one of the largest cloud ecosystems out there. However, one size does not fit all.

At Qovery, we're thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking way for AWS users to drastically reduce their costs — by up to 60% on EC2 instances. This significant reduction is made possible through the synergy of AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with Karpenter, AWS's powerful autoscaler.

I am thrilled to introduce to you our new billing analytics feature, now generally available to all our users. This feature is designed to empower you with insights into your Qovery usage, enabling you to monitor, control, and optimize your cloud expenses effectively.

I'm thrilled to announce the availability of Qovery on the AWS Marketplace. You can now buy and benefit from Qovery right from the AWS Marketplace. Before delving into the specific advantages of purchasing Qovery through the AWS Marketplace, let's first understand what the AWS Marketplace is and why this is something you should consider when purchasing Qovery.

An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is an ecosystem that empowers developers to manage the entire application lifecycle from development to deployment autonomously. As a vital component for organizations, the implementation of an IDP often presents a ‘Build vs. Buy’ dilemma: should you construct your own IDP, tailored to your unique needs, or would it be more efficient to purchase a pre-built solution?

I'm thrilled to unveil a suite of groundbreaking features that we've introduced over the past four months at Qovery. Our commitment to enhancing your development and deployment experience continues to be our driving force. Recently, we shared these updates during our exhilarating public demo day, which you can watch here. Let's dive into the features that are set to redefine your interaction with Qovery.

Kubernetes probes are essential tools for maintaining the health and reliability of applications running in containers. Among these, the liveness probe plays a critical role in checking if an application is running correctly. If it detects any problems, Kubernetes can automatically restart the affected container, thus ensuring the application remains available without manual intervention.

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that Qovery has once again been recognized as a Momentum Leader for DevOps in the Winter 2024 Grid Report. This marks the third consecutive time we've received this prestigious acknowledgment, and we couldn't be more grateful for the ongoing support of our incredible community of users 🙏

At Qovery, we build our frontend using Nx and rely on the official nrwl/ci GitHub Actions. Our frontend requires third-party tokens during compile time, but we would like to avoid hardcoding them or using the.env file to define our tokens. The latter exposes our source code directly on GitHub, and even though it's not sensitive data, we don't want it to be easily scraped.

The evolution of cloud infrastructure management has been significantly influenced by the development of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, among which Crossplane stands out as a pioneering solution. CrossPlane, an open-source project, revolutionizes how developers manage and orchestrate cloud services by extending Kubernetes with powerful abstractions for multi-cloud environments.
