The Secure PaaS Alternative: Keep the PaaS Experience, Run It on Your Own Cloud

Following several reported developer-platform security incidents in October 2026, including breaches involving Railway and Northflank, the piece argues that shared PaaS models concentrate risk because customer builds, applications, management systems, and secrets may reside on common infrastructure, making stored environment variables and valuable AI keys attractive targets. It presents Qovery as an alternative that retains PaaS-style features such as git-based deployments, preview environments, databases, autoscaling, and logs while deploying applications and data into customers’ own AWS, GCP, Azure, Scaleway, or Kubernetes environments. Qovery’s control plane remains responsible for deployment management, meaning it can still access deployment paths and may store secrets entered through its console, while its default image builds use shared but isolated, disposable build nodes unless customers choose to build in their own clusters. The company recommends customer-managed secret stores and short-lived cloud access roles to reduce exposure, cites SOC 2 Type II certification, annual penetration tests, and support for regulatory requirements, and is developing a dedicated customer-hosted control plane for organizations requiring complete isolation.
