Yesterday was my worst day for a very long time. We spent so much time promoting our Qovery Engine to the open-source community and getting those ~3800 stars. I woke up and discovered that we had lost all the stars and forks from our repository. But what happened?
Since we launched Qovery in January 2020, we offered free hosting ("Community" plan) for every developer. Providing free hosting was the perfect way to get product feedback and iterate with our users without the cost constraint. As our hosting infrastructure costs have drastically grown within the last 18 months, we had to reinvent our free offer. In a nutshell, we will continue to offer free hosting to involved community members only. Keep reading to know more 👇
This is the most exciting feature we launched since Qovery v2 has been released - the Preview Environment feature!
Making an Open Source Software with sensitive data and dozens of external integrations is a real challenge, here are feedbacks and tradeoffs we've made.
So you’ve just created a new project and want to start distributing it, but you still don’t know how to manage its deployment. Then there’s the monitoring, network request, and a lot of other problems related to modern apps. At the same time, you want to avoid working directly with AWS due to its intricacy.
Helm has some limits, discover how we extended functionnalities with Rust.
I am super excited to announce that we have released our "clone environment" feature. It is a massive update!! With one click, you can duplicate an existing environment. The cloning environment has been a significant feature expected by our customers and users for a long time. Thanks to our beta testers and our team for making it live for everyone. Here is a short video showing the clone environment in action
The AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automatically distributes your incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, in one or more Availability Zones, ultimately increasing the availability and fault tolerance of your applications. In other words, ELB, as its name implies, is responsible for distributing frontend traffic to backend servers in a balanced manner.
Docker is a high-level virtualization platform that lets you package software as isolated units called containers. Containers are created from images that include everything needed to run the packaged workload, such as executable binaries and dependency libraries. Images are defined in Dockerfiles. These resemble sequential scripts that are executed to assemble an image.
It can be difficult to comprehend and successfully scale your services as modern orchestrated settings grow larger and more sophisticated. Container monitoring allows you to see the health and performance of your dynamic container infrastructure in real-time. Container monitoring is the practice of collecting and analyzing performance metrics to track the performance of containerized applications built on cloud-based microservices.
