What is klustr.io?

The world’s first open-source cloud platform with true vertical integration.

A radically simpler way to build, ship, run, and scale software — without Kubernetes, without DevOps overhead, and without platform sprawl. Powered by OSS. Delivered as a unified developer experience. And driven by an API first approach (see our API docs!).

Runs on your laptop, your home server, or the cloud!

Finally, a cloud platform that behaves like an integrated product — not a pile of parts.

Klustr brings the entire software delivery lifecycle into one vertically integrated system:

  • compute

  • networking

  • identity

  • orchestration

  • deployments

  • observability

  • runtime services

All wired together. All consistent. All open-source.

Klustr.io gives you and your teams instant access to a modular architecture that combines identity, consent, onboarding, permissions, account management, and usage-based billing — all connected through a unified, standards-based gateway.

Vertically Integrated by Design

The entire platform — from code to production — works as a single, cohesive unit. No YAML, no mesh, no CRDs, no duct-tape glue. Just one clear path: build → deploy → run.

Open Source at Every Layer

Klustr is built from best-in-class OSS “supplier components” — assembled into a stable, predictable platform with zero lock-in.

Zero DevOps Required

No platform team. No months-long configuration. Klustr delivers out-of-the-box environments with instant deployments and built-in automation.

Local-First Architecture

Your laptop is your cluster. Your home server is your datacenter. The cloud becomes optional — not mandatory.

90–99% Cost Reduction

Vertical integration eliminates cloud waste, redundancy, and complexity. Run Klustr anywhere — for a fraction of the price.
