It's common practice that development environments for the same product are kept the same (or at least compatible) for smooth software development life cycle (SDLC) workflow. That brings the question, why do we need more than one environment for the same product. In today’s modern software development, it is crucial for product development teams to maintain an effective and rapid workflow if they want to gain a competitive edge in the product market.

Qovery V3, which is the most significant product evolution of the last twelve months, was launched in Alpha testing about two weeks ago now. We started gathering some feedback and also added some new functionality since then so let’s take a look on how’s going.

My team and I built Qovery to empower DevOps engineers and Developers to better work together - without compromises. In 2022, DevOps engineers need to build reliable infrastructure on top of the best cloud service providers (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP), dealing with security concerns, productivity, reliability, and many services. DevOps engineers are responsible for a lot of things in an organization. From CI/CD, to the run of the apps in production and the backup of databases.

Some people spend hours on a spreadsheet and call themselves “Excell Ninja” here at Qovery; we spend hours on our console because, in case you don’t know yet, we test and deploy using Qovery for Qovery. After a year of using our console almost every day, I started to make a list of all the small tips and tricks that I was able to gather, and because sharing is caring, here are my top three tips to use on Qovery.

One of the most exciting things when using Kubernetes is the ability to scale up and down the number of nodes based on application consumption. So you don’t have to manually add and remove nodes on demand and let it go on usage. Obviously what you want is to keep control on the minimum and the maximum number of nodes to avoid an unexpected bill.

The second quarter is now over and after the start of our V3 at the beginning of this quarter we are super happy to announce that it’s now out in Alpha but there is so much more to speak about so without further due, let me show you all the great things we achieve during the past quarter 🚀

Two years ago today, we shared some insights of 200 CTOs from growing US and EU startups on the topics of the Cloud and their working methodologies (to find out here). Welcome to the second series: “Heroku Dilemma: The Growing Startups' Journey.”

What is Qovery EC2? In just one sentence: what if I told you that you could host your application on AWS from $20 per month? Well, it’s now possible thanks to Qovery EC2! ��

Let’s talk about our most significant product evolution of the last twelve months; after gathering all your precious feedback and nearly a quarter of work, the Alpha testing is coming before the end of the month! 🤩

Our last Qovery Demo Day was live on Thursday, 23rd of June. This event aims to give you insights into what we did during the past month and what’s next and showcase some of our new features. During this demo day, Romaric (CEO at Qovery) and Benjamin (Software Engineer at Qovery) joined me to talk about Qovery EC2 and our brand new V3 console.
