Knodex
The Open-Source Developer Platform.
Developers deploy from a catalog. Operators define the guardrails. Everything runs as Kubernetes resources. No new control plane.
Need it managed? We'll run it for you.
Your tooling is the bottleneck, not your team.
Developers file tickets. Wait days. Platform team drowns in PRs and Terraform modules.
Developers pick from a catalog. Deploy in minutes. Platform team defines guardrails once.
How it works
Operators define the catalog
Platform teams create golden paths as Kubernetes resources. Define what developers can deploy and how.
Developers self-service
Browse, pick, deploy from a visual catalog. Built-in guardrails mean no unsafe deployments.
Kubernetes provisions everything
Kro orchestrates operators (ASO, Crossplane, ACK) to provision cloud resources natively through Kubernetes.

Knodex is built and maintained by Provops. We contribute upstream to Kro, maintain ecosystem packages, and use Knodex to run our own managed platform service.
- Team holds CISSP, CKA & major cloud provider certifications
- Years of Consulting & Platform Operations
- Open-Source Contributors & Knodex Creators
The OSS Pledge
Features that ship as OSS will never move behind the Enterprise paywall. OIDC, RBAC, catalog, and core dashboard functionality are open source forever. Enterprise features solve problems that only exist above 50 developers.
