Go from code → URL with a single push. No containers. No hassle.

Epinio is a lightweight, open-source Platform-as-a-Service that installs into any Kubernetes cluster and gives developers a simple, fast Code → URL workflow.

• Developers push source code directly and get a live app URL in seconds
• Platform Engineers get Kubernetes-native building blocks with sane defaults
• No lock-in: Epinio uses generic Kubernetes resources and common OSS components

• Zero Dockerfiles
• Push your source code and let Epinio build & deploy automatically
• Works with many languages and frameworks

• Runs on any cluster: k3d, k3s, kind, EKS, GKE, AKS
• Minimal footprint
• Fast inner-loop development

• Uses standard Kubernetes primitives (Deployments, Services, Ingress)
• Built on open-source components: Tekton, Buildpacks, and more
• Bring your own ingress, registry, or build system

• Integrate anywhere - Rancher & Backstage are just the beginning
• Digital sovereignty through interoperability

• Built with User Experience as a top priority
• Not just an amazing Developer Experience - amazing UX for Platform Engineers & DevOps too

• Built-in TLS
• Built-in Git-based or API-based workflows
• Clear RBAC boundaries between Developers and Operators

The fastest way to try Epinio is on a local cluster minikube recommended

• Kubernetes 1.25+
• kubectl installed
• A default StorageClass
• A local or remote container registry

Full installation guide here: https://docs.epinio.io/installation/install_epinio

1. Log in to Epinio
Epinio login: https://epinio.YOUR-DOMAIN

2. Create an Epinio app
epinio app create my-app

3. Push your source code
epinio push my-app --path

4. Access your URL
epinio app show my-app

💡 Epinio automatically:

• Detects your language
• Builds the container image
• Creates the Kubernetes resources
• Exposes your app via Ingress
• Returns the live URL 🎉

Epinio intentionally avoids inventing new abstractions - everything is powered by Kubernetes-native primitives!

API Server - central control plane
Build Service - builds containers with Buildpacks
Push Workflow - orchestrates build + deploy steps
Kubernetes Resources - Deployment, Service, Ingress
Ingress Controller - Nginx, Traefik, or your choice
Container Registry - local or external

See full CLI reference → https://docs.epinio.io/references/settings

Use the same workflow everywhere!

• k3d / k3s
• kind
• Minikube
• EKS
• GKE
• AKS

We'd love to have you involved!
