Why Klutch?
Managing data services in large-scale Kubernetes environments with hundreds or thousands of application clusters doesn’t have to be so complicated. Klutch provides a Kubernetes-native control plane that centralizes data service automation while enabling developer self-service and platform governance. Whether you're managing databases, storage, message brokers or monitoring tools, Klutch simplifies provisioning, scaling, and lifecycle management across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Why choose Klutch?
Open-source & vendor-neutral
Built by the community, for the community—with no vendor lock-in.
Self-service and automation
Developers can provision and manage databases as code, while platform teams enforce policies and automation.
Scalability without complexity
Works seamlessly across multi-cluster, multi-cloud environments, ensuring centralized control while maintaining local autonomy.
Operational efficiency
Standardize database management across Kubernetes clusters, eliminating repetitive manual tasks and improving DevOps workflows.
How Klutch works
Kubernetes-native control plane
Uses Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to define databases, storage, and other services in YAML, enabling declarative management.
Multi-cluster, multi-cloud flexibility
Supports on-prem, AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid deployments, ensuring a consistent experience across all environments.
Empowered developers, streamlined operations
Developers deploy databases alongside applications using familiar Kubernetes workflows, while platform teams maintain governance and security.
Automated lifecycle and governance
Standardizes backup, scaling, and compliance policies while integrating with GitOps and DevOps pipelines.
Built for platform teams and developers
For developers: Self-service database provisioning through simple YAML definitions. No more waiting on infrastructure requests!
For platform operators and platform teams: A single control plane to manage databases, automation backends, and policies to ensure full data service instance visibility and operational efficiency at scale.
Open-source and community-driven
Klutch is licensed under Apache 2.0, fostering collaboration and transparency within the Kubernetes and cloud-native communities. Whether you're a developer, operator, or architect, we welcome contributions, feedback, and new ideas.
