Paris-based Qovery, a SaaS platform that automates DevOps and streamlines application deployment across any cloud, has raised $13M (€11.3M) in Series A funding to accelerate US expansion and advance its AI-driven product roadmap.
Founded in 2020 by Romaric Philogène, Qovery addresses one of tech’s most persistent pain points: the shortage of skilled DevOps engineers and the rising complexity of cloud infrastructure. While Kubernetes and hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, and GCP provide powerful solutions, they remain costly and complex to manage — especially in multi-cloud or migration scenarios.
Qovery automates the entire lifecycle of application deployment and infrastructure management across clouds and on-premise Kubernetes environments. Installation takes just five minutes, slashing setup times from months to a single day. Customers typically achieve 3× efficiency in DevOps output, enabling hundreds or thousands of daily deployments while retaining full visibility, cost control, and compliance.
“Software companies face a difficult trade-off: build a costly, slow-to-scale in-house DevOps team or outsource at the expense of flexibility,” said co-founder and CEO Romaric Philogène. “Qovery solves this by letting companies ship faster at lower cost, freeing developers to spend more time coding instead of managing infrastructure.”

Investors backing the vision
The round was led by IRIS, with participation from Crane Venture Partners, Speedinvest, Techstars, Irregular Expressions, and high-profile angels including Datadog co-founders Olivier Pomel and Alexis Lê-Quôc, Docker co-founder Sebastian Pahl, and Checkout.com CTO Ott Kaukver, who also joins the board. All seed investors renewed their support.
Anaïs Monlong, Venture Principal at IRIS, noted:
“As cloud complexity grows and DevOps talent shortages intensify, Qovery stands out by combining automation, flexibility, and stellar customer experience. It gives companies the ability to manage operations at scale and focus on building products instead of wrestling with architecture.”
Datadog co-founder Alexis Lê-Quôc added:
“Having scaled Datadog, I know how challenging it is to avoid DevOps becoming a bottleneck. Qovery’s approach immediately resonated with me — it’s the kind of leverage engineering teams everywhere need.”
Accelerating US expansion
Qovery is currently growing at 115% year-over-year and already derives half its business from the United States, with customers including Talkspace and RxVantage. The new funding will fuel US expansion, team growth, and further development of its AI-driven automation platform.
By offering the simplicity of a PaaS with the flexibility of full cloud control, Qovery positions itself as a key player in redefining DevOps automation — in Europe, the US, and beyond.
