What Kovra is
Kovra Cloud is a managed platform for deploying and operating production apps and databases. Connect a GitHub or GitLab repository; Kovra detects the framework or builds from a Dockerfile, then deploys the app with a database and HTTPS. It runs containerized web apps, APIs, background workers, cron jobs, and GPU workloads in five listed regions: Europe, North America East, North America West, Asia, and Oceania. Managed PostgreSQL is available, while Redis, MongoDB, and MySQL are on the roadmap. An MCP server and scoped API tokens let coding agents deploy services, provision databases, and read logs within spend limits. The platform lists integrations including Docker, GitHub, GitLab, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Prometheus, Grafana, n8n, and Slack. Kovra says apps use standard containers rather than a proprietary runtime. External traffic uses TLS 1.2 or higher, database connections use SSL/TLS, and stored secrets are encrypted. The free Hobby plan includes 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 10 GB storage, managed PostgreSQL, unlimited team members, and 50 GB of monthly egress.
