Your infrastructure.
Your rules.

At Qovery, we believe every state and every company should be sovereign over their infrastructure. Your data, your cloud, your control. This is not a feature we sell -- it is the architectural principle everything else is built on. No vendor should stand between you and your infrastructure.

- 01

Our Belief

Cloud sovereignty is not a premium feature. It is a right.

Every organization -- whether a two-person startup or a government agency -- should decide where its data lives, who can access it, and under which jurisdiction it falls. No platform vendor should have the ability to read your secrets, inspect your workloads, or hold your infrastructure hostage.

This belief shapes every decision we make at Qovery. We do not host your workloads. We do not store your data. We do not control your cloud account. We build the control plane that lets you and your team -- humans and AI agents alike -- operate Kubernetes with confidence. The infrastructure stays yours.

Architecture-Enforced Sovereignty

Sovereignty is not enforced by a contract clause. It is enforced by architecture. Qovery is designed so that we physically cannot access your data, even if we wanted to.

  • ->Your workloads run in your own AWS, GCP, Azure, or Scaleway account -- on clusters you own and control
  • ->The Qovery control plane processes only deployment metadata: configuration state, resource metrics, and deploy events
  • ->We never access your application data, database contents, environment secrets, or customer data
  • ->All communication between the Qovery control plane and your clusters uses mutually authenticated TLS (mTLS)
  • ->API access requires authentication tokens with configurable expiration and RBAC-scoped permissions
  • ->On the Enterprise plan, you can self-host the entire Qovery control plane in your own cluster -- fully air-gapped if needed

European Roots

Qovery is BIRDSIGHT SAS, a company registered and headquartered in France. We are subject to European Union law by default -- not by opt-in, not by addon, not by special request.

This matters because the legal framework governing your vendor matters. When your infrastructure platform is a European company, GDPR is not a compliance checkbox -- it is the baseline. Your data protection rights are not negotiable.

  • ->French company (BIRDSIGHT SAS), registered in France, subject to EU law
  • ->SOC 2 Type II certified -- independently audited security controls
  • ->GDPR compliant by architecture -- we process deployment metadata only
  • ->HIPAA compliant -- available for healthcare organizations
  • ->DORA compliant -- available for financial services organizations
  • ->EU data residency available -- your data stays in the EU region you choose

Data Residency & Compliance

Your data stays where you put it. Qovery does not move, copy, or transfer your workloads across borders. The cloud region you choose is the region your data lives in -- period.

Every action on the platform -- every deployment, every configuration change, every access event -- is logged in a tamper-evident audit trail. You can prove who did what, when, and why. This is not optional; it is built into the platform.

  • ->Your data stays in the cloud region you choose -- no cross-border transfer of customer workloads
  • ->Full audit trail of every deployment, configuration change, and access event
  • ->RBAC policies scoped by environment, project, and role -- humans and AI agents follow the same rules
  • ->Environment-level isolation -- production, staging, and preview environments are fully separated
  • ->Sub-processors listed transparently in our Privacy Policy
  • ->Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) available on request
- 05

Open & Interoperable

Sovereignty also means freedom from lock-in. You should be able to leave any vendor at any time, taking your infrastructure with you. Qovery is built on open standards and provides multiple interfaces so you are never trapped.

  • ->Terraform Provider -- define your entire infrastructure as code, version-controlled in Git
  • ->MCP Server -- let AI agents interact with Qovery programmatically through an open protocol
  • ->CLI and API -- fully documented, no hidden endpoints, no proprietary protocols
  • ->AI Skill -- install once, works with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini CLI, and any MCP-compatible agent
  • ->Standard Kubernetes -- your workloads are standard K8s manifests, Helm charts, and containers. Nothing proprietary.
  • ->Export your infrastructure at any time -- Qovery does not hold your configuration hostage
