Internal Developer Platform (IDP) vs. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

The realm of cloud computing presents a myriad of solutions to organizations seeking to optimize their development and deployment processes. Two primary contenders in this domain are Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) and Platform as a Service (PaaS). While both aim to abstract infrastructure complexities, their modalities and offerings significantly diverge. This article elucidates the core differences and similarities between IDPs and PaaS, supplemented with practical examples and notable products in each category, to provide a comprehensive understanding for organizations navigating this critical decision.

How We Built an Agentic DevOps Copilot to Automate Infrastructure Tasks and Beyond

At Qovery, our goal is simple: eliminate the grunt work of DevOps. The idea of an assistant that can understand developer intent and autonomously take action on infrastructure has always felt like the holy grail. In February 2025, we started building that assistant - our DevOps Copilot. Today, our Agentic DevOps Copilot is live in Alpha. It helps developers automate deployments, optimize infrastructure, and answer advanced configuration questions. But getting here took multiple iterations.

GenAI: A New Paradigm for Problem-Solving with Undefined Inputs

This model works well when the input space is predictable, but it struggles with problems where inputs are ambiguous, unstructured, or constantly evolving.

From AWS EKS to AWS EKS with Qovery - 6 Reasons Why This Startup Migrated

Sometimes, even when you’re running on a solid infrastructure like AWS EKS, a growing company needs to rethink how they manage it. One startup, fresh off a successful Series A raise, found themselves in just that situation. They had been running two EKS clusters — Production and Staging — managed entirely by their CTO, who is an experienced AWS power user. But with the company scaling and a larger software engineering team on the horizon, they faced a crucial decision: hire their first DevOps Engineer or delay that hire by using Qovery. Here’s why they chose the latter.

Open-Source DevOps AI Agent: Effortless Migration from Heroku to AWS

Migrating applications from a Platform as a Service (PaaS) to a cloud platform is often a complex, time-consuming, and expensive process. Companies using PaaS platforms like Heroku, Render, Fly.io, Railway, Vercel, Netlify, and many others frequently delay this migration despite needing enhanced security, compliance, technical capabilities, and greater control over their infrastructure. One of the main reasons is the lack of time and resources, coupled with the desire to retain the seamless experience these PaaS platforms provide — a challenge that Qovery effectively solves. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of our open-source DevOps AI Agent, a tool designed to help you migrate your workloads from Heroku and similar PaaS platforms to AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Scaleway via Qovery with minimal effort and zero cost. Leveraging our experience at Qovery — where we've assisted over 400 projects in seamless migrations — we've created a solution that simplifies the migration journey while offering significant time and cost savings.

Top 10 End-to-End Testing Products for Web Applications in 2023

In the realm of software development and testing, end-to-end (E2E) testing plays a pivotal role in ensuring the robustness and reliability of web applications. Unlike unit or integration testing, which focuses on specific components or integrations between them, end-to-end testing evaluates the entire system as a whole. This includes testing the flow from the user's perspective, from start to finish, and often involves multiple systems and components working in unison. An end-to-end testing product aims to simplify this comprehensive process, providing tools and environments to simulate real-world user scenarios, ensuring that the application performs seamlessly in actual production environments.

Ephemeral Environments vs Ephemeral Services: Weighing the Pros and Cons

In today's fast-paced software development world, Ephemeral Environments have emerged as a game-changer. These temporary, mirror-like copies of production environments are invaluable tools for testing code changes, debugging, and various development tasks. They offer developers a safe haven to experiment and test without impacting the stability of the production environment. One of the primary benefits of Ephemeral Environments is their fidelity to the production environment. By accurately reproducing the environment where the software will eventually operate, they allow developers to identify and resolve issues before they impact the end-users. This kind of preventive troubleshooting can save a significant amount of time and resources. However, Ephemeral Environments also come with challenges. For instance, spinning up an Ephemeral Environment can be resource-intensive, especially for complex environments involving multiple services. Each time a feature change requires testing, all these services need to be recreated in the Ephemeral Environment. This process can be time-consuming and demanding in terms of resources, leading to increased costs and potential delays in the development cycle.
