Northflank
The full-stack cloud platform.
Overview
Northflank is a comprehensive deployment platform that goes beyond traditional GitOps for Kubernetes manifests. It allows users to manage their entire application stack, including services, databases, and cron jobs, through a GitOps workflow. A key feature is its bidirectional GitOps, where changes made in the UI can be committed back to the Git repository, keeping the UI and code in sync. It can run on Northflank's cloud or be brought to a user's own cloud or on-premise infrastructure.
