Your Kubernetes Development Platform, Simplified

Skyhook creates and manages a modern Kubernetes-based development platform with minimal effort from your side. We orchestrate best-of-breed open source and enterprise tools to implement “golden paths” and best practices, so you can focus on building great products. Our goal is to make building and running services on Kubernetes as easy as any PaaS, but on your cloud, with all the power and flexibility of Kubernetes.

Key Benefits

  • Deploy in minutes - Go from idea to deployed service in minutes, not days
  • Best practices by default - Smart rollouts, secrets management, monitoring, and alerts built-in
  • No lock-in - Everything runs in your cloud, in your repo, with your full control
  • Flexible - Support for multiple tools in each category; override any configuration
  • Full observability - Complete logging, monitoring, and tracing stack included
  • GitOps ready - Optional GitOps workflows with ArgoCD, or deploy directly from CI/CD

Who Uses Skyhook?

Skyhook serves two primary personas, each with different goals:

For Developers

Deploy and manage your applications without worrying about infrastructure complexity. Create services, run jobs, manage environments, and deploy with confidence, all through an intuitive interface or CLI. Common tasks:
  • Deploy your first service
  • Set up preview environments for pull requests
  • View logs and debug issues
  • Configure CI/CD pipelines

For Platform Teams

Set up and manage the Kubernetes infrastructure that powers your organization’s development platform. Connect clusters, configure security, set up GitOps workflows, and enable your development teams to self-serve. Common tasks:
  • Connect and manage Kubernetes clusters
  • Set up GitOps with ArgoCD
  • Configure RBAC and access control
  • Install and manage platform addons

How It Works

  1. Connect your cluster - Bring your existing Kubernetes cluster or create a new one
  2. Install the Cluster Connector - Our lightweight connector provides Skyhook with visibility into your cluster
  3. Deploy services - Use templates or import existing services with a Dockerfile
  4. Iterate and scale - GitOps workflows, multiple environments, and full observability built-in
