Qovery API
Qovery — developer platform that provisions and manages Kubernetes clusters on your cloud account (AWS, GCP, Azure), providing Heroku-like deployment UX with full cloud control.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Secrets stored encrypted, injected as env vars. Cloud credentials stored in Qovery, not exposed to developers. Customer cloud accounts retain data sovereignty. SOC2 certified.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You want Heroku-like simplicity for deploying on your own AWS/GCP/Azure account with Kubernetes under the hood, and need programmatic environment management.
Avoid When
You want a fully managed platform without cloud account management — use Render, Railway, or Koyeb.
Use Cases
- • Agents deploying containerized services to customer-owned cloud accounts with Kubernetes without managing K8s directly
- • Preview environments — agents spinning up ephemeral environments per pull request for testing and review
- • Environment cloning — agents duplicating entire application stacks for staging or QA purposes via API
- • Database provisioning — agents creating managed databases (RDS, Cloud SQL) alongside app deployments
- • Multi-cloud deployment — agents deploying the same application to AWS, GCP, and Azure from a single API
Not For
- • Teams that need a fully managed PaaS — Qovery requires your own cloud account and incurs cloud costs
- • Simple hobby projects — Render or Railway are simpler for small-scale deployments
- • Teams needing raw Kubernetes access — Qovery abstracts K8s; use EKS/GKE directly for K8s-native workflows
Interface
Authentication
JWT tokens via OAuth2. API tokens for CI/CD. Organization and project-level access control. GitHub/GitLab OAuth for source integration.
Pricing
Qovery fee is separate from your cloud infrastructure costs (AWS/GCP/Azure). You pay both. Cloud costs can be significant for multi-service deployments.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Deployments are async — POST to deploy returns job ID; agents must poll status endpoint for completion
- ⚠ Cluster provisioning takes 15-30 minutes — agents must handle long async operations gracefully
- ⚠ Environment hierarchy: Organization > Project > Environment > Service — wrong level causes 404
- ⚠ Cloud credentials must be pre-configured — Qovery cannot provision clusters without cloud provider IAM
- ⚠ Preview environments inherit production config by default — agents should explicitly override sensitive env vars
