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 30 minutes or less. 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 developer experience, 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
Northflank is a battle-tested platform used in production by thousands of engineering teams. 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 hell helm.
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.
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.
Optimised for Developer Happiness
A developer experience like no other
Northflank simplifies complex infrastructure, providing a robust control plane with real-time updates. Access controls are intuitive, and everything is designed to keep developers focused on what they do best: writing code.
Experience, trust and scale

What’s Holding You Back?
Challenges for Internal Developer Platforms
Building your own platform can be a daunting task. From the complexities of Kubernetes to the pitfalls of DIY solutions, many obstacles can impede your progress.
Custom parts and DIY dangers
Building custom solutions from scratch is high risk and high... well, just high risk. DIY platforms are too dependent on the engineers who build them, leading to single points of failure.
Your developers are never satisfied
Developers want to build great software without worrying about infrastructure. A platform must be flexible enough to satisfy changing requirements and evolving user expectations. Without quick iteration, friction between Dev and Ops becomes inevitable. Flexibility is seldom a feature of homegrown platforms.
There’s no prize for building from scratch
Your platform should be built on established and battle-tested solutions. Creating your own abstraction over infrastructure-as-code is tedious and thankless work. And when it goes wrong, who is to blame? You.
Time & costs
Building an IDP takes an army of engineers and years of work. It also requires massive investments in software and infrastructure—and it’s never under budget. Just when you hope you’re finished, it’s time to re-platform.
