How Qovery works on Managed Scaleway cluster

Qovery is an abstraction layer on top of Scaleway and Kubernetes. Qovery manages the configuration of Scaleway account, and helps you to deploy production ready apps in seconds. To make it works, Qovery rely on Kubernetes for stateless apps (containers), and Scaleway for stateful apps (databases, storage...).

Read more on how Qovery works behind the scene.

Kubernetes

The first time you set up your Scaleway account, Qovery creates a Kubernetes cluster in your chosen region. Qovery managed it for you - no action required. It takes ~15 minutes to configure and bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster. Once bootstrapped, your Kubernetes cluster runs the Qovery app and is ready to deploy your applications.

Managed services

Scaleway provides managed services for PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB. Qovery gives you access to those services when you set the environment mode to Production. In Development mode, Qovery provides containers equivalent, which is cheaper and faster to start.

Security and compliance

Qovery runs your Kubernetes cluster and is autonomous to manage your applications, which means:

  • Your configuration are stored on your Scaleway account.
  • Your configuration is encrypted on your Scaleway account.
  • Qovery can't access to your data.
  • Suppose Qovery stops to run, your applications are not impacted.
