Opinionated platform that runs on Kubernetes to take you from Code to URL in one step.

E2E tests:

Epinio makes it easy for developers to develop their applications running in Kubernetes clusters. Easy means:

• No experience with Kubernetes is needed
• No steep learning curve
• Quick local setup with minimal configuration
• Deploying to production the same as deploying in development

Kubernetes is the standard for container orchestration. Developers may want to use Kubernetes for its benefits or because their Ops team has chosen it. In either case, working with Kubernetes can be complex depending on the environment. It has a steep learning curve and doing it right is a full-time job. Developers should spend their time working on their applications, not doing operations.

Epinio adds the needed abstractions and tools to allow developers to use Kubernetes as a PaaS.

Documentation is available at docs.epinio.io.

Requires a Kubernetes cluster, an Ingress Controller and a Cert Manager as explained in the installation documentation. Once this is in place, and leaving out DNS setup, an installation reduces to:

helm repo add epinio https://epinio.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

helm install --namespace epinio --create-namespace epinio epinio/epinio \
  --set global.domain=mydomain.example.com

Installation of the Epinio CLI is by downloading a binary from the release page, or usage of brew, i.e.

brew install epinio

There is further documentation here.

Our QuickStart Tutorial works through how to create a namespace and push an application.

The developer documentation explains how to build and run Epinio from a git source checkout.

• Security
  • TLS secured API server
  • Basic Authentication to access the API
  • or OIDC-based token
• Epinio Clients
  • Web UI
  • Epinio CLI
• Apps
  • Push code directly without further tools or steps
  • Basic operation of your application once pushed
  • Cloud Native Buildpacks build and containerize your code for you
• Configurations
  • CRUD operations on your configuration. A configuration can be a database, SaaS etc. A configuration can be an external component or can be created using epinio configuration.
  • Bind configurations to apps.
