Qovery Alternative

Keep self-service. Add the ops loop.

Qovery gives developers a PaaS-like self-service experience on their own cloud. Atmosly shares that ease and goes further into operations: AI incident response, continuous posture, and cost — so self-service does not stop at deploy.

  • Self-service deploys
  • Read-only to start
  • No self-host upgrades

The honest picture

Two good tools, built for different scopes

Both work with Kubernetes. The real question isn't whose feature is better — it's how much of the lifecycle you want one product to own.

Internal dev platform

Qovery brings a Heroku-style experience to your own cloud account. A developer connects a Git repository and Qovery provisions the environment, builds the container, and deploys it to your AWS, GCP, Azure, or Scaleway — with ephemeral preview environments on every pull request, plus a clean console, CLI, and API.

That developer experience is genuinely good, and for many teams it's enough. The trade-off is depth after the deploy: once an app is live, diagnosing incidents, proving continuous compliance, and breaking spend down per workload fall to separate tools. Qovery is built to ship code, not to operate, secure, and optimize it for the months that follow.

  • Delivery-focused — day-2 is thinner
  • No AI SRE or root-cause analysis
  • No continuous compliance posture
  • No deep native cost intelligence
Full delivery loop

Atmosly is one unified Kubernetes platform. Code flows through visual CI/CD and GitOps; the AI SRE agent watches what's running and proposes ranked fixes; the security engine scans posture continuously; and cost intelligence shows where the money goes.

It's fully managed and agent-based — no self-hosted upgrades to chase. And the SquareOps services team can implement and run it for you.

  • AI SRE: root cause + ranked fix PRs
  • Continuous CIS / PCI / SOC 2 posture
  • Built-in cost intelligence & FinOps
  • Fully managed — zero upgrade toil
Why teams move

Qovery deploys easily. Atmosly deploys and operates.

Keep the self-service developer experience. Atmosly adds the AI SRE, posture, and cost loop that follows the deploy.

01 — Operate

An AI SRE for what's running

When a pod OOMKills or a service crash-loops, Atmosly infers the actual root cause and opens the PR that fixes it — with a full audit trail. Read-only by default, every action reversible.

  • Root cause in under a minute, fix proposed
  • Read-only by default — every action reversible
  • No runbooks to write, no rotation to staff

02 — Secure

Continuous posture, not a build-time scan

Always-on scanning against CIS, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and NSA hardening, with audit-ready evidence on demand — watching the live cluster for drift, not just images at build time.

  • CIS · PCI · SOC 2 · NSA frameworks built in
  • Drift caught on the running cluster
  • Audit-ready evidence exported on demand
03 — Optimize

Cost you can see, leaks closed automatically

Per-namespace and per-workload cost, right-sizing from real usage, and waste detection built in — reconciled to your bill, with guardrails that scale non-prod down on a schedule.

Qovery's strengths are real for the job it's built for. Atmosly's case is scope and managed operations across the whole loop.

An honest call

Which one is right for your team?

Here's how to decide based on scope and who you want running the platform.

Choose Qovery if…
  • Developer self-service deploy is the main need
  • You want a PaaS-like experience on your cloud
  • Quick app and environment spin-up matters most
  • Deep ops, posture & cost are secondary
  • A lighter delivery platform fits your team
Choose Atmosly if…
  • You want delivery plus AI SRE, security & cost in one loop
  • You'd rather not spend engineer-weeks self-hosting a platform
  • Continuous compliance posture matters, not just scans
  • You want auto root-cause and fix PRs for incidents
  • You'd like a partner (SquareOps) to implement and run it

The bottom line: if your priority is the fastest possible developer self-service on your own cloud, Qovery is a strong, focused choice. If you want that same self-service and the operate-secure-optimize loop that follows it — incidents with a root cause, continuous compliance, and per-workload cost — on one managed platform, that's the case for Atmosly.

Moving over

From Qovery to Atmosly in an afternoon

No big-bang migration. You connect read-only, see value first, and adopt the rest of the loop at your own pace — keeping the GitOps and Helm you already run.

01

Connect read-only

Import your existing EKS, GKE, or AKS cluster — public or private — in minutes. Nothing changes; Atmosly just starts observing.

02

Bring what you run

Point Atmosly at your existing clusters, Git repos, and Helm releases. It's standard Kubernetes underneath — nothing to recreate.

03

Turn on the loop

Switch on visual CI/CD, the AI SRE agent, continuous security, and cost intelligence as you're ready — one capability at a time.

04

Hand off the toil

Atmosly is fully managed — no self-host upgrades to chase. SquareOps can run day-2 operations for you if you'd like.

Questions

What teams comparing Qovery ask

Is Atmosly a PaaS like Qovery, or something different?
Atmosly gives developers the same self-service feel — connect a repo, get an environment, ship without filing a ticket — but it is a full internal developer platform rather than just a deploy layer. The difference shows up after the first deploy: Atmosly also operates, secures, and right-sizes what is running, where Qovery hands those jobs to other tools.
Can developers self-serve deployments and environments?
Yes. Golden paths let developers deploy services, spin up and clone full environments, and promote to production without waiting on the platform team — the same low-friction experience Qovery is known for, with scoped guardrails and approvals wherever you want them.
Do we lose ephemeral / preview environments if we switch?
No. Atmosly can clone a complete environment — the app, its dependencies, and config — for a branch or pull request, then tear it down on a schedule. You keep per-PR previews, and you also gain cost guardrails so those throwaway environments don't quietly run up the bill.
What happens after the deploy — how does day-2 compare?
This is the core difference. When something breaks, Atmosly's AI SRE agent finds the root cause and drafts the fix PR; it scans the live cluster against CIS, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 continuously; and it breaks spend down per workload with right-sizing. Qovery focuses on getting code shipped and leaves these to separate tools.
Does it run on our own cloud, and will we be locked in?
Yes — it runs on your own cloud and clusters, on standard Kubernetes, Helm, and Git underneath, the same bring-your-own-cloud model Qovery uses. Nothing about your workloads is trapped; Atmosly is the layer that operates them, not a place they live.
Qovery has a free tier — how does the cost compare?
Qovery's free tier is attractive for getting started. Atmosly is a paid platform, but it replaces a deploy tool plus the separate SRE, security, and cost tooling you would otherwise run — so the real comparison is one bundled bill against several, and total cost of ownership usually favors consolidation once those tools are counted.
How much work is migrating from Qovery?
Little, and it is incremental. You connect a cluster read-only first and see incidents, posture, and spend immediately, then recreate or import your services and turn capabilities on one at a time. There is no big-bang cutover, and the SquareOps services team can run the migration for you.
Which clouds and Kubernetes clusters are supported?
Any conformant cluster — EKS, GKE, AKS, or self-managed, public or private. If you already run Qovery on your cloud, Atmosly connects to those same clusters without recreating anything.

Keep what works. Close the loop.

Connect a cluster read-only and watch your deploys, incidents, posture, and spend show up in one place — in minutes. Free, no sales call.
