A PaaS Platform That Actually Runs in AWS GovCloud
Render, Railway, Fly.io, and Heroku cannot operate in AWS GovCloud regions — full stop. Convox Rack is installed directly into your own GovCloud AWS account using our Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model, so your workloads never leave the compliance boundary. When your contracting officer asks where the data lives, the answer is unambiguous: your account, your region, your control.
Purpose-Built for FedRAMP, FISMA, and IL4/IL5 Mandates
Federal contracts don't wait for your platform team to catch up. Convox gives your compliance and security lead the infrastructure posture required by FedRAMP, FISMA, and IL4/IL5 requirements — network isolation, encrypted storage, audit-ready configuration — baked into the platform, not bolted on. Your COR gets defensible architecture; your engineers get out of the compliance weeds.
Skip the Self-Managed Kubernetes Tax
The only other path to GovCloud is self-managed Kubernetes — which means hiring two to three dedicated DevOps engineers, months of cluster configuration, and ongoing operational burden your team didn't sign up for. Convox replaces that entire layer. Define your services in a convox.yml file, run `convox deploy`, and your application is live in GovCloud. Your engineers ship features; Convox runs the platform.
Your Account. Your Keys. Your Audit Trail.
Convox's BYOC architecture means the Rack control plane runs inside your AWS GovCloud VPC — not in shared Convox infrastructure. IAM roles, KMS keys, CloudTrail logs, and VPC flow logs are all yours. When your security lead needs to produce an authorization package or respond to a STIG finding, the evidence is already in your account and under your control.
A Deployment Workflow Engineers Already Know
Federal compliance mandates don't have to mean friction for your dev team. A convox.yml file describes your services, environment, and resource requirements in plain YAML. `convox deploy` pushes a build to GovCloud in minutes. `convox run` opens a one-off process for migrations or debugging. The same workflow your team uses in commercial regions works identically in us-gov-west-1 and us-gov-east-1.
Built for Long Sales Cycles — Ready When You Are
GovCloud procurement takes 6 to 18 months. We know. Convox works with your timeline — including early-stage technical discovery calls with your compliance lead and contracting officers, architecture documentation for your ATO package, and a sales process designed around how federal-adjacent procurement actually works. When the contract is signed, your infrastructure is ready to go live, not ready to be designed.
