AWS Elastic Beanstalk streamlines the deployment and management of applications in the cloud, offering developers an easy way to deploy services without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. However, while it simplifies many aspects of cloud deployment, it also presents challenges, including limited customization and potential vendor lock-in, which might not suit all project needs or scalability requirements.

Ensuring efficient deployment and management of containerized applications is critical to development teams across all possible industries in today’s cloud-native world. A standout service for many has been AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS), which has proven to be scalable and easy to use while integrated into one of the largest cloud ecosystems out there. However, one size does not fit all.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes (EKS) is a powerful solution for managing Kubernetes native applications in the cloud. Being a managed service by Amazon, it handles a lot of complexities of Kubernetes on its own. However, despite its robust features, organizations might seek EKS alternatives due to challenges such as cost considerations, specific feature requirements, or the desire for greater control over their infrastructure.

At Qovery, we're thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking way for AWS users to drastically reduce their costs — by up to 60% on EC2 instances. This significant reduction is made possible through the synergy of AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with Karpenter, AWS's powerful autoscaler.

I am thrilled to introduce to you our new billing analytics feature, now generally available to all our users. This feature is designed to empower you with insights into your Qovery usage, enabling you to monitor, control, and optimize your cloud expenses effectively.

I'm thrilled to announce the availability of Qovery on the AWS Marketplace. You can now buy and benefit from Qovery right from the AWS Marketplace. Before delving into the specific advantages of purchasing Qovery through the AWS Marketplace, let's first understand what the AWS Marketplace is and why this is something you should consider when purchasing Qovery.

An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is an ecosystem that empowers developers to manage the entire application lifecycle from development to deployment autonomously. As a vital component for organizations, the implementation of an IDP often presents a ‘Build vs. Buy’ dilemma: should you construct your own IDP, tailored to your unique needs, or would it be more efficient to purchase a pre-built solution?

I'm thrilled to unveil a suite of groundbreaking features that we've introduced over the past four months at Qovery. Our commitment to enhancing your development and deployment experience continues to be our driving force. Recently, we shared these updates during our exhilarating public demo day, which you can watch here. Let's dive into the features that are set to redefine your interaction with Qovery.

Kubernetes probes are essential tools for maintaining the health and reliability of applications running in containers. Among these, the liveness probe plays a critical role in checking if an application is running correctly. If it detects any problems, Kubernetes can automatically restart the affected container, thus ensuring the application remains available without manual intervention.

CI/CD platforms are now an integral part of any software development approach. They help teams to automate critical phases of their workflow. From integrating new code seamlessly to deploying updates swiftly, CI/CD tools not only streamline operations but also promote continuous improvement. As we enter 2024, the world of CI/CD tools is more vibrant and essential than ever.
