Qovery, a French SaaS platform that automates DevOps and makes utility deployment easy on any cloud, has raised €11.3 million in Collection A funding to speed up growth within the area, scale its staff and advance its AI-driven product innovation.

The spherical was led by IRIS, with participation from Speedinvest, Crane Enterprise Companions, Techstars, Irregular Expressions, and a number of other outstanding angel buyers together with Datadog Co-founders Olivier Pomel and Alexis Le-Quoc, Docker Co-founder Sebastian Pahl, and Checkout.com CTO Ott Kaukver (former Twilio CTO), who additionally joins the board of administrators.

Considerably, all current buyers from the Seed spherical participated within the Collection A.

Romaric Philogène, Co-founder and CEO of Qovery, mentioned: “Software program firms face a troublesome trade-off: both construct an costly and slow-to-scale in-house DevOps staff, or depend upon exterior consultants at the price of autonomy and suppleness. Qovery solves this by enabling organisations to ship merchandise sooner, at decrease value, whereas letting builders spend extra time coding and fewer time managing the cloud infrastructure.

“Our platform might be put in in simply 5 minutes, delivering the output of 4 to 5 DevOps engineers – roles that usually take six to 12 months to rent and onboard. That’s the sort of leverage our prospects want in as we speak’s market.”

Qovery’s €11.3 million Collection A spherical locations it amongst a number of notable European infrastructure and engineering-productivity investments in 2025. Fellow French startup Cycloid secured €5 million to speed up sustainable platform engineering development, whereas Paris-based Alpic raised about €5.1 million to construct an MCP-native cloud platform.

Elsewhere, Belfast’s Cloudsmith attracted €21.9 million in a Collection B to scale its cloud-native artifact administration resolution, and Helsinki’s Swarmia raised €10 million to increase its engineering productiveness platform.

Inside this panorama, Qovery’s elevate is among the bigger early-stage rounds, underlining continued investor urge for food for options that simplify cloud deployment and enhance developer effectivity.

Anaïs Monlong, Enterprise Principal at IRIS: “As software program and cloud development continues to speed up, the necessity for easy options to handle more and more advanced deployment infrastructures has turn into prevalent, and is additional heightened by a DevOps expertise scarcity.

“As well as, as cloud suppliers proceed to distinguish themselves, and migration between cloud suppliers or between on premise and cloud is more and more engaging to firms, Qovery’s resolution stands out as a platform that may present easy automation, flexibility and pace at scale to handle such operations, with stellar buyer expertise. Firms can due to this fact give attention to constructing merchandise with out scuffling with structure. We’re excited to assist the staff as they increase globally and set a brand new commonplace for DevOps automation.”

Launched in 2020, Qovery is a DevOps automation platform that fills the important DevOps builders scarcity with simple to implement options permitting current groups to give attention to high-value actions. It reportedly solves the rising complexity and value of infrastructure administration – challenges that proceed to decelerate software program groups.

In accordance with the corporate, hiring and retaining expert DevOps engineers stays one of many hardest challenges in tech. This rising abilities hole means deployments are 26% extra prone to be delayed than delivered early within the UK in 2024.

Cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Azure provide hundreds of companies, however stay advanced to handle, particularly in multi-cloud or migration conditions. Kubernetes is a dependable resolution to automate cloud deployment, however stays a big problem for engineering groups.

Qovery says they handle these ache factors with a platform that automates the complete lifecycle of utility deployment and infrastructure administration throughout clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure, Scaleway) and on-premise Kubernetes environments. Groups retain full visibility and value management, with out the seller lock-in typically related to PaaS options.

This method allegedly slashes set-up instances from weeks or months to as little as sooner or later – with set up taking simply 5 minutes and requiring no vital DevOps experience or assets.

On common, prospects obtain 3× DevOps effectivity, considerably accelerating deployments whereas decreasing the necessity for added DevOps assets, thereby supporting DevOps and growth groups to focus extra on strategic duties that drive enterprise outcomes.

As soon as up and operating, Qovery prospects additionally obtain far better launch velocity, deploying lots of and even hundreds of instances per day, enabling a lot sooner product cycles with out compromising on compliance and safety.

Alexis Lê-Quôc, Co-founder and CTO of Datadog: “Having constructed Datadog, I understand how difficult it may be to scale software program with out DevOps turning into a bottleneck. Qovery’s method resonated with me instantly as a result of it addresses a ache level I’ve personally skilled. I consider it’ll change how engineering groups in all places deploy software program.”

Qovery is rising at 115% YoY and counts lots of of shoppers and hundreds of customers. With half of its enterprise already coming from the US – prospects embrace Talkspace and RxVantage.
