Structurally uncontested: few other PaaS solutions serves GovCloud
Render, Railway, Fly.io, and Heroku cannot deploy into AWS GovCloud regions — full stop. The only real alternative is self-managed Kubernetes inside GovCloud, which requires DevOps headcount most federal contractors cannot staff or afford. Convox is the a platform in its class that operates where your compliance mandate requires.
Your infrastructure, inside your GovCloud account
Convox runs as a Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) rack installed directly into your AWS GovCloud account. Your workloads never touch Convox-managed infrastructure — every resource is provisioned inside your own VPC, under your own IAM policies, in the GovCloud region your contract requires. Compliance auditors see your AWS account. That's it.
Deploy to GovCloud the same way you deploy anywhere else
Define your application once in a convox.yml file — services, workers, cron jobs, environment variables, health checks. Run `convox deploy` and Convox handles the Kubernetes manifests, load balancer configuration, and service mesh inside GovCloud. No Helm charts. No kubectl. No rewriting your deployment pipeline for a federal environment.
Audit-ready infrastructure by default
Convox provisions isolated VPCs, enforces private subnets, manages encrypted storage, and maintains separation of environments — the architectural controls FedRAMP and FISMA assessors look for. Your Compliance Lead and COR get a defensible, documented infrastructure posture without your engineering team spending months configuring it manually.
Operate IL4/IL5 workloads without a platform engineering team
Defense tech teams operating at IL4 and IL5 face the same problem: the federal contract demands GovCloud isolation, but staffing a full platform engineering team to manage it is cost-prohibitive. Convox gives your engineers a single deployment interface — the same `convox` CLI across all environments — while satisfying the infrastructure isolation requirements your contract mandates.
Built for 6–18 month procurement cycles
We understand federal procurement doesn't move fast. Convox supports your technical evaluation process with architecture documentation suitable for FedRAMP package reviews, direct access to engineering for Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) questions, and a sales process built around your procurement timeline — not ours.
