For platform teams

Golden paths, without the tickets.

Describe each stack once and let teams deploy it themselves, inside your guardrails.

Golden paths

Publish the recipe. Let teams self-serve.

Teams create apps from your templates, changing only what you allow.

  • From the images, charts and YAML you have
  • Defaults per environment
  • See every app a change affects

Freedom for teams. Rules for production.

Roles decide who deploys. Risky settings are caught at render.

  • Approvals per application
  • Keycloak SSO and GitHub sign-in
  • Activity log with diffs

Any cloud

One way to run every environment.

Create or connect clusters, or deploy straight to VMs.

  • EKS, GKE and VKE with Terraform
  • Connect any cluster; it dials out
  • Deploy to VMs, no Kubernetes needed
More on provisioning
# Connect an existing cluster: copy the command from Shipfast
$ kubectl apply -f https://<your-workspace>/k8s/apply/<token>
# Installs the agent. It dials out to Shipfast: no inbound ports, no VPN.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

All questions
Do teams need Kubernetes knowledge?

No. They work with templates and applications; the platform team decides what goes into the template.

Can we keep our existing Helm charts?

Yes. Templates mix Docker images, Helm charts and Kubernetes YAML.

Can different teams have different permissions?

Yes. Roles decide who can create, deploy, approve and view, per application.

Does it work across clouds and on-prem?

Yes. The same templates run on EKS, GKE, VKE, AKS, on-prem clusters and VMs.
