qovery-speedup
Speeds up Qovery deployments. Analyzes deployment timelines via the V2 deployment history API, identifies bottlenecks (build, startup, health check, scheduling, image pull), classifies them as user-controllable or Qovery infrastructure, and proposes fixes — Dockerfile optimization, build cache strategies, health check tuning, deployment stage parallelism, image pull optimization. Generates a diagnostic report for Qovery support when the bottleneck is infrastructure-side. Use when the user complains about slow deployments or long build times on Qovery.
Skill body
Qovery Speedup Skill
This skill speeds up Qovery deployments. It measures exactly where time is being spent, identifies the bottleneck, classifies it as user-controllable or Qovery-infrastructure, and either applies the fix or generates a diagnostic report for Qovery support.
For deployment failures use qovery-troubleshoot. For cost optimization use qovery-optimize.
When to Use This Skill
Trigger phrases:
- “My deployments are slow”
- “Speed up my Qovery deployment”
- “Why does my deployment take so long?”
- “Optimize my build time”
- “My app takes too long to start”
- “My Docker build is slow”
- “The health check keeps timing out”
- “My deployment is taking 20 minutes”

Workflow checklist
Deployment Speedup Progress:
- [ ] Phase 1 — Measure (V2 deployment history, build runner report, sub-step parsing)
- [ ] Phase 2 — Classify the bottleneck (user-controllable vs Qovery infrastructure)
- [ ] Phase 3 — Diagnose (Dockerfile, build runner, startup, health check, image pull, stages)
- [ ] Phase 4 — Apply fixes & verify
- [ ] Phase 5 — If infra-side: generate diagnostic report and escalate to Qovery support
- [ ] Phase 6 — Set ongoing speed targets and a maintenance checklist
