# Qovery

> The infrastructure platform for AI-assisted development, enterprise builders, and agent runtimes.

Qovery is a Kubernetes platform with a single standardized API consumed by a Terraform provider, MCP server, CLI, and AI Skill that Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and 20+ agents already use. It gives every human and every agent self-service on Kubernetes without losing control of security, spend, or your cloud.

Workloads never leave your VPC -- Qovery runs the control plane; your clusters run your workloads. SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant out of the box.

## What Qovery Does

- Manages the full lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters on AWS, GCP, Azure, Scaleway, OpenShift, and on-premise
- Provides a single API that powers every interface: web console, CLI, Terraform, MCP, and AI Skill
- Enforces RBAC, policy-as-code, and audit trails for both human and AI agent actions
- Deploys containers, Helm charts, cron jobs, and lifecycle jobs with zero-config CI/CD
- Right-sizes resources and tracks cloud spend across all clusters

## AI & Agentic Deployments

Qovery is built for AI agents. Two complementary interfaces let any agent deploy, scale, debug, and manage infrastructure by conversation:

- **MCP Server** -- Model Context Protocol server that exposes Qovery's full API to any MCP-compatible agent. Runs locally via `qovery mcp start`. Standard open protocol; no custom integration code.
- **AI Skill** -- Higher-level skill packages that analyze your code, generate Dockerfiles, provision databases, wire environment variables, and deploy -- all from a single natural-language prompt.

### Quickstart

```
# MCP Server (works with any MCP-compatible agent)
brew install qovery-cli
qovery auth
qovery mcp start

# AI Skill (one-line install for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, etc.)
curl -fsSL https://skill.qovery.com/install.sh | sh
```

## Use Cases

### 10x Dev Velocity

AI coding tools turned every engineer into a 10x developer. Your CI/CD pipeline is the bottleneck. Qovery removes it.

- [CI/CD for AI-Assisted Dev](https://www.qovery.com/solutions/ai-cicd): Prompt-to-deploy and GitOps on one platform. Two deployment paths -- AI agents and Git merges -- same guardrails, same audit trail.
- [Ephemeral Environments](https://www.qovery.com/solutions/ephemeral-environments): Kill the staging bottleneck. Full-stack preview per pull request with databases, seeded data, real TLS.

### Vibe Coding

Non-technical teams are building apps on Lovable and Replit with company data and zero governance. Qovery gives them a controlled platform instead.

- [AI Builder Portal (RDE)](https://www.qovery.com/solutions/remote-dev-environments): A self-service portal for your whole team to build on your infrastructure. Pre-configured cloud environments with SSO, network isolation, and full audit trails. Anyone can spin up a fully configured stack in minutes.

### AI Agents

Your software will increasingly be agents. They need full-stack environments -- not just code-only workspaces.

- [AI Coding Agents](https://www.qovery.com/solutions/ai-coding-agents): Full-stack sandboxes for AI coding agents. Every agent gets a clone of your production stack -- app, database, services, seed data -- in 30 seconds. Agents write code, run E2E tests against real services, and open tested PRs. On your Kubernetes with full governance. Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and custom agents. Linear integration today, Jira coming soon.

## Alternatives Comparisons

### AI Builder & Agent Sandbox Alternatives
- [Qovery vs Lovable](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/lovable): The enterprise alternative to Lovable. Deploy on your own cloud (BYOC) with SSO, RBAC, private networking, audit trails, and any backend language. Lovable is multi-tenant only, React + Supabase only, no VPC peering.
- [Qovery vs Daytona](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/daytona): Go beyond sandboxes. Daytona provides isolated agent sandboxes but has no deployment pipeline, no production hosting, and no multi-service environments. Qovery covers sandbox to staging to production with enterprise governance.
- [Qovery vs Bolt.new](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/bolt): Take Bolt.new prototypes to production. Bolt.new has no SSO, no RBAC, no audit logs, no compliance certifications. Qovery deploys AI-built apps on your own cloud with full enterprise controls.

### Legacy Kubernetes Platform Alternatives
- [Qovery vs OpenShift](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/openshift): Replace OpenShift's per-core licensing and proprietary operators with standard Kubernetes on EKS, GKE, or AKS. Predictable pricing, automated Day-2 ops, AI agent support via MCP Server. No Red Hat lock-in.
- [Qovery vs Rancher](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/rancher): Go beyond cluster management. Rancher manages clusters but doesn't include CI/CD, preview environments, or promotion pipelines. Qovery is the complete platform - no assembly required.
- [Qovery vs Nutanix](https://www.qovery.com/alternatives/nutanix): Free Kubernetes from the Nutanix HCI stack. Run identically on Nutanix, AWS, GCP, Azure, or bare-metal. Simple per-cluster pricing instead of hardware-tied licensing tiers.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What is Qovery?** Qovery is a Kubernetes management platform that gives developers and AI agents self-service deployment on your own cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure). It manages the full lifecycle: provision clusters, deploy apps, observe, optimize costs, and enforce security - all from a single API.
- **How does Qovery work with AI agents?** Qovery provides an MCP Server and AI Skill that let any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI) deploy, scale, and debug infrastructure through conversation. Agents get the same governed access as humans.
- **Is Qovery a PaaS?** No. Qovery is a Kubernetes control plane that runs on your own cloud account (BYOC). Your workloads never leave your VPC. Unlike PaaS platforms, you own the infrastructure and can eject at any time - your clusters remain standard EKS/GKE/AKS.
- **What is the best alternative to Heroku for production?** Qovery is used by many teams migrating from Heroku to AWS. You get the same developer experience (git push to deploy) with full infrastructure ownership, Kubernetes-native scaling, and enterprise compliance.
- **What is the best alternative to OpenShift?** Qovery replaces OpenShift with standard Kubernetes, predictable pricing, and AI agent support. No per-core licensing, no proprietary operators, no Red Hat lock-in.
- **How do I deploy AI agent-written code safely?** Use Qovery's sandbox-to-production governance. Agents write code in isolated environments with scoped secrets and network isolation, then deploy through a governed pipeline to staging and production. Every action is logged and attributed.
- **What is an Internal Developer Platform?** An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) gives developers self-service access to infrastructure without requiring deep Kubernetes expertise. Qovery is an IDP that supports both human developers and AI agents.
- **How much does Qovery cost?** Qovery starts at $299/month for the Starter plan. Enterprise pricing is based on cluster count and features. There is a free trial with no credit card required.
