Konstellation - Application platform on Kubernetes

Konstellation is a full stack application platform for Kubernetes. It provides an integrated set of tools that simplifies deployment of apps on k8s.

Companies often build proprietary tools to manage deployments on k8s, or deal with the raw resource YAMLs that can be complex and error-prone.

Konstellation is designed to lower the barrier of entry that comes with Kubernetes. Initially it supports k8s clusters on AWS (other cloud providers are on the roadmap).

Features

• Heroku-like usability on your own Kubernetes
• Cluster creation & management powered by Terraform
• Istio service mesh
• Custom resources that eliminate redundant/boilerplate YAML
• Release management & rollbacks
• Prometheus set up to scrape key app metrics
• Pre-configured Grafana dashboards for apps
• Reproducibility, easily migrate or duplicate your entire setup
