Need to deploy to Kubernetes?

But not sure how to put things together? We got you covered. Gimlet is a gitops based developer platform that gives you the best of open-source out of the box. The platform you would build given enough time.

Kubernetes is the standard in application deployment

Gitops

Keep everything in git - it's gitops.

Gimlet only interacts with git. It writes your Kubernetes manifests to git when you release, and processes the git history for you to know who did what and when. Gimlet comes with conventions so you don't have to come up with a git repository structure. It also scales out of the box.

Clickops

Dashboards should not be scary - it's clickops.

Gimlet gives you a dashboard where you can operate your application. You don't have to worry about configuration drift. Every action you take on the Gimlet dashboard is backed by a git commit.
You prefer the command line? The Gimlet CLI has got you covered.

Integration

Plays well with your CI.

You can keep organizing your CI workflows as you desire, and call Gimlet's API whenever you need to perform a gitops operation. We have CI plugins for Github Actions, CircleCI, Gitlab and Woodpecker CI.

Integration

Bring your own cluster.

Or namespace. Gimlet is not magic hosting.
So bring your own cluster or namespace as Gimlet only interacts with git and leaves the gitops paradigm to manage your applications. Gimlet remains decoupled from your cloud setup.
If you launch a managed Kubernetes cluster, or have a dedicated namespace, you are good to go. Heck, Gimlet works even with Minikube, k3s or kind running on your laptop.

Yaml Authoring

No boilerplate.

Our generic Helm chart allows you to write only a minimal configuration. All common web application usecases are covered so you don't have to look up the Kubernetes documentation or blog posts every turn. Plus you can make sure that your application yamls are following a common blueprint.

Configuration

Declarative environment configuration.

Declare your staging and production configs in your application source code. Reference any Helm chart, add plain K8s manifests, or use Kustomize patches for postprocessing.
The Gimlet manifest also supports variables.

app: test-app
env: staging
namespace: staging
chart:
  repository: https://chart.onechart.dev
  name: onechart
  version: 0.36.0
values:
  containerPort: 9000

    repository: ghcr.io/gimlet-io/test-app
    tag: "{{ .SHA }}"
  ingress:
    ingressClassName: nginx
    host: "test-app.staging.turbopizza.net"

Application Platform

Turn your cluster into an application platform.

You can't do much with an empty Kubernetes cluster. Equip it with the must have components to make it a real application platform. Pick your preferred ingress controller, log collector, metrics tool and more from a curated list of open-source components and let Gimlet back it with a gitops repo. Gimlet will deliver a stream of updates whenever new versions are available.
