And, of course, we'll guide you through the simple process of migrating from AMD64 to ARM with Qovery's help.

Software developers need controlled and isolated environments to try new features, bug fixes, and other changes before deploying them to production. This separation captures possible issues early, reducing the risk of live environment errors or performance issues. Teams can experiment with various configurations, tools, and technologies in test environments, fostering innovation and development.

The first quarter of the year is ending, and even though we have plenty of news in stock for the next one, it’s now time to go through our quarter retrospective. In case you missed anything, here are the most important releases of Q1!

As businesses grow and evolve, their needs for cloud services change too. This is especially true for companies that start with a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution like Heroku but need more control over their environment and customization options as they scale. This is where Amazon Web Services (AWS) comes in. Migrating from Heroku to AWS can be a complex process, but it allows businesses to scale their infrastructure and customize their environment to meet their specific needs.

The ability to scale your applications is crucial for businesses, enabling them to manage growing user traffic, maintain application performance, and expand the business efficiently. Heroku has become one of the most popular platforms for this purpose due to its user-friendliness, rapid deployment, and support for various programming languages. Despite its powerful infrastructure and beneficial features, scaling on Heroku presents certain challenges in terms of high cost and poor performance.

I am excited to announce the partnership between Qovery and Doppler. Qovery is an infrastructure automation platform that helps developers deploy their applications more easily, while Doppler is a fully managed SecretOps platform that enables engineering teams to better manage their environment variables and secrets.

Today, I'm excited to share with you how we've turned Kubernetes into a product that developers can easily use without any headaches. We'll explore why Kubernetes can be difficult for developers and how Qovery simplifies the process by acting as an intermediate layer and integrating with the developer ecosystem.
