Kilter provisions it, wires it in and runs it on sovereign Kubernetes in Canada, the EU, the USA or your own cluster. [Request beta access](/signup) [See the catalog](#catalog) The Kilter CLI ## Production-grade CLI for agentic platforms. Modern agentic applications need 10+ services: workflows, event streams, auth, observability, vector search. Developers pick what they know, not what they need. Kilter fixes that. All of Kubernetes, available agentically, ready to deploy into safe, secure, real infrastructure. ``` $ kilter add temporal redpanda ory Added 3 services (+ 2 dependencies) $ kilter up Cluster ready: 12 pods running ``` Step 1 #### Detect Auto-detect your app's language, framework, and imports. Step 2 #### Compose Resolve service dependencies and wire configurations. Step 3 #### Orchestrate Hot-reload, logs, health checks: all via one CLI. ### AI-native by design The CLI is an agent interface. Every command returns low-token structured text that AI agents can parse, reason about, and act on. Agents discover Kilter through the CLI surface: `kilter catalog` lists available services, `kilter doctor` validates compositions. They compose stacks by running `kilter add`, scaffold code with `kilter run`, and validate with `kilter doctor`. **Under 3 GB** Kilter, 20 pods (2.0 GB measured 3 Nov): auth, workflows, events, tracing, storage, search **2 to 4 GB** Supabase, 12 containers: database and auth only The Portal ## One friendly place to see everything. The Portal is your dashboard: a clean web app where you can see every project, app, and service at a glance. Check if things are healthy, read your logs, peek at your database, roll out a new version, or invite a teammate. It's the calm control room for your agents and applications, designed so anyone on the team can use it. - See all your apps and services in one view - Live logs, health, and metrics, no terminal needed - Deploy, roll back, and manage secrets with a click - Invite teammates and manage who can do what The Runtime ## The engine that keeps it all running. The Runtime is the managed home your code runs in. Under the hood it's battle-tested Kubernetes, the same technology that runs the world's biggest companies, but you never have to touch it. It wires up your databases, auth, and services for you, restarts anything that hiccups, scales when you get busy, and keeps every app safely isolated from the others. - Services auto-wired: database, auth, storage just work - Self-healing: it restarts and recovers on its own - Secure by default, with each app safely sandboxed - Runs the same locally and in production, no surprises The catalog ## Agentic applications are only as good and as secure as the infrastructure they run on. Auth, databases, policies, event queues, workflows, file systems, caching, telemetry, text search. Add a line to kilter.yaml and the Runtime provisions the service, wires its credentials into your app and keeps it running. #### Database 9 postgres · clickhouse · mariadb · mongodb · falkordb · neo4j · kurrentdb · mysql · pgweb #### Auth 6 ory · zitadel · keycloak · authentik · spicedb · openbao #### Workflows 2 temporal · dapr #### Messaging 4 nats · kafka · redpanda · rabbitmq #### AI 2 honcho · letta #### Search 4 meilisearch · typesense · qdrant · elasticsearch #### Observability 10 signoz · otel-collector · grafana · prometheus · loki · tempo · jaeger · glitchtip · posthog · umami #### Infrastructure 6 bifrost · kyverno · envoy · crossplane · kratix · metrics-server #### Storage 3 garage · rustfs · seaweedfs #### Cache, email, media 3 redis · mailpit · imgproxy #### Applications 7 twenty · outline · nextcloud · ghost · penpot · strapi · tina Applications as infrastructure ### Those aren't apps you merely use. They're apps you build on. Open-source applications such as Nextcloud, Twenty, Penpot and Outline are provisioned, wired, and automated exactly like a database: declared in your `kilter.yaml`, reconciled by the Runtime, addressed through real APIs. Your applications and agents inherit decades of domain functionality instead of rebuilding it or renting it per seat. The app's state lives in your Postgres and your object store, so backup, audit, and export are uniform across everything you run. The bar to be considered infrastructure - **Standard SSO, no SSO tax.** OIDC or SAML in the free tier, so identity stays platform-owned: one Ory identity plane for humans and agents alike, every action attributed. - **Automatable end to end.** API-first, config-as-code deploys, state in standard stores (Postgres, S3). If a human has to click through a setup wizard, an agent can't own it, and it isn't infrastructure yet. Why we build it this way: [the k8gentic manifesto →](/k8gentic) Regions and Miniscalers ## Three regions, one sovereign pattern. Each Paddington region is an independent Miniscaler instance: its own cluster, its own data plane, the same canonical Kilter stack. Your app is pinned to the region you choose, and its data stays there. Region **Canada** ca-central · open Region **European Union** open Region **United States** open Anywhere **Your cluster** self-host, or any Miniscaler Miniscalers are independent providers running the Kilter sovereign cloud platform. Run your apps on Paddington, on your own infrastructure, or on any Miniscaler, and move between them whenever you want.
