Introduction to Devtron

Devtron is an open-source tool integration platform for Kubernetes. It is built to simplify how teams deploy, manage, secure, and observe their applications.

Devtron is like a control plane for the entire Kubernetes app lifecycle, where CI/CD, infrastructure provisioning, cost visibility, security, and debugging all meet in one unified interface.

Quick Walkthrough​

Why Devtron Exists​

Kubernetes is powerful but complex.
Organizations often end up juggling 8-12 different tools just to achieve visibility, deployments, and governance. Devtron bridges these gaps by integrating all critical DevOps capabilities into a single coherent experience, without forcing teams to change their existing toolchains.

With Devtron, you can:

  • Deploy and manage microservices across clusters with visual CI/CD pipelines.
  • Provision infrastructure like EKS clusters directly from the UI.
  • Observe, debug, and troubleshoot applications in real-time.
  • Integrate security and cost insights right into your release workflow.
  • Automate repetitive DevOps workflows using policies and templates.
  • Leverage AI-powered recommendations for smarter scaling, debugging, and optimization.
