Create and manage databases as if they were local—no matter where they actually run
Deploying and managing databases in Kubernetes shouldn't require deep infrastructure expertise. With Klutch, you can provision and manage databases just like any other Kubernetes resource, even if they reside—VMs, pods, or across multiple clouds.
Klutch provides a Kubernetes-native self-service experience, enabling you to create and manage databases within your application cluster while the control plane ensures they are orchestrated seamlessly, no matter where they actually run.
Why application developers use Klutch
Self-service database provisioning
Spin up databases or other data services on demand with simple YAML configurations—just like deploying your application. No waiting on tickets or manual approvals.
Works across any cloud or on-premises
Deploy PostgreSQL, MySQL, RDS, DynamoDB, and more across AWS, Azure, on-prem, or hybrid environments—with the same user experience everywhere.
Simplified Kubernetes integration
Define databases as Kubernetes objects and manage them through native Kubernetes APIs, ensuring they integrate smoothly with your applications.
Focus on code, not infrastructure
No need to manually configure connections or manage underlying VMs—Klutch handles the complexity while you focus on building and shipping applications.
How Klutch works
- Install Klutch in your app cluster – A lightweight client runs alongside your application, connecting to the central control plane.
- Deploy a database with YAML – Define your database instance just like any other Kubernetes resource
kubectl apply -f <manifest>.yaml - Klutch handles provisioning – The control plane communicates with automation backends to create and manage your database.
- Your app connects automatically – The database is available and ready to use with your application.
