Build your Internal Developer Platform (IDP)
Accelerate Your Platform Development
Why settle for anything but the best?
Building a custom Internal Developer Platform (IDP) from scratch is risky and time-consuming. With Northflank, you get a battle-tested platform that accelerates your development process and empowers your teams.
Ship your platform sooner
Use the right building blocks to ship your platform quickly. Northflank offers higher-level primitives that make it easier to build a platform based on Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies. Get a head start with ready-to-go solutions for build, deployments, delivery, secure multi-tenancy, and more.Move fast on any cloud
Get running in your cloud of choice in minutes. Northflank seamlessly integrates with EKS, GKE, AKS, and most flavors of Kubernetes. When you need to add more regions, availability zones, or other providers, we’ve got you covered with one consistent experience.Exceptional developer experience
Give your teams the best DevEx, with you defining the defaults and guardrails. All your developers need is a Dockerfile or Buildpack. Northflank picks up changes from Git and can automatically kick off builds.A platform for you
A platform flexible enough for the most complex workloads, from one microservice to a thousand, ephemeral to stateful. Usable by hobbyist app developers all the way to the most sophisticated platform teams.Automate and Simplify
Automate all the things
Northflank automates your deployment pipeline, so you can focus on building great software. Harness the power Kubernetes without the YAML helm hell.
IaC templates
Group multiple services, jobs, and stateful workloads together into a single IaC template. Manage, compose, and repeat infrastructure operations effortlessly.Beyond provisioning
Traditional IaC stops at provisioning and ignores your apps. Northflank handles infrastructure and extends codification to pipelines and apps. Manage everything from one flexible interface.Bring your own addons
Northflank provides managed services inside your clusters, so that you as a platform team can deliver high-quality services within the same VPC. We support the six most popular databases. If we don’t support one, leverage BYOA and bring your own Helm charts to offer your own stateful services.Integrations
Automatic integrations with cloud and self-hosted version control (VCS) providers (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket), CDNs (Fastly & CloudFront), custom DNS providers, and custom container registries. Sink capabilities to external observability and alerting providers.Streamline Your Deployment Pipeline
From Git to production in no time
Northflank automates your deployment pipeline, so you can focus on building great software without the usual headaches.
Build golden paths
Pipelines and automatic preview environments are your golden path to production. Codify your workflows and graduation policies, storing them in Northflank or Git. Automatically collect logs and metrics on every workload.Fast builds for faster feedback
Snappy container builds, preview environments, and release workflows speed up feedback cycles for stakeholders, QA, and code reviewers.Environment dashboard
Monitor the state of all your resources with pipeline overviews, health status, and alerts. Segment your resources into projects or development, staging, and production environments.Clean up dangling resources automatically
Easily spin up and down clusters with auto-scaling and templates. Automatically provision preview environments on commit. Avoid dangling resources with fine-grained usage and billing data and easily configurable retention periods for resources and backups.
Testimonials from Sentry
From the front lines
Northflank is way easier than gluing a bunch of tools together to spin up apps and databases. It’s the ideal platform to deploy containers in our cloud account, avoiding the brain damage of big cloud and Kubernetes. It’s more powerful and flexible than traditional PaaS – all within our VPC. Northflank has become a go-to way to deploy workloads at Sentry.

Why DIY fails
There’s no prize for building from scratch
Building an internal platform takes years and a dedicated team. Northflank gives you one out of the box.
Custom parts and DIY dangers
Custom platforms are expensive to build and risky to maintain. They create single points of failure tied to the engineers who built them.Your developers are never satisfied
Internal platforms rarely stay flexible. As requirements evolve, teams spend more time fighting their tooling than building product.
Testimonials from Pebblebed
From the front lines
Northflank is the first batteries-included developer platform that doesn’t suffer from the invisible ceilings that hover over its competitors. We could have built all of Slack with Northflank – and we would have, had it been available.
