From day one, Convox has followed a philosophy of “Integration over Invention”. We believe that everything needed to run apps with impeccable uptime and security already exists through cloud services. The only challenge is integrating all the component services together into a simple and reliable system.
To this end, we’re happy to announce our AWS Integration. Deploying your apps onto modern and private AWS infrastructure services is only a few clicks away.
