The Power of a Unified Platform

How Northflank works

Northflank unites all of your cloud solutions into one polished view. We abstract infrastructure, pipelines, and tedious workflows so you can focus on shipping apps.

All workloads welcome

Run any kind of workload effortlessly. Build, deploy, and scale microservices, databases, batch jobs, background workers, and more—all ready out of the box. Choose from our managed add-ons like MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MinIO, and others. Manage all your workloads from a single interface, simplifying your operations.

Control & flexibility without compromise

Gain full control without compromising developer agility. Our flexible, reusable IaC templates let operations manage infrastructure effortlessly, while developers enjoy self-service deployment. Every change syncs back to Git in standardized JSON manifests, ensuring your team stays aligned and efficient.

Pick and mix

Integrate seamlessly with your preferred tools and workflows. Our platform is easy to adopt and customize, allowing you to pick and mix logging tools, CI providers, and more. Streamline your development process without disruption, so you can focus on shipping software faster.

BYOC and PaaS support

Seamlessly scale from our managed PaaS to your own cloud infrastructure with Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) support. Avoid the “graduation problem” by having a consistent platform that grows with you, whether you’re on AWS, GCP, Azure, or on-premises.

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.

What stands in the way of you and your dream platform?

Real-world challenges of running containers in production

You want a platform that unites your cloud solutions. Everything from CI pipelines to CDNs needs to be thought through, tested, and built to work in the ephemeral world of containers.

Rigid self-service tools limit operational control

Developers need to self-serve in order to succeed. Unfortunately, most platforms achieve self-service by rigidly constraining operations. This puts Dev and Ops in tension – the worst case for DevOps.

Multiple tools with partial views

To understand what's going on with your application, you have to juggle several tools—one for logs, another for builds, maybe another for deployments. This sort of sprawl complicates the already challenging job of troubleshooting.

Stateful workloads are hard, Kubernetes even harder

Microservice restarts are fine, but database restarts lead to late-night pages and manual intervention. Stateful workloads require backups, recovery logic and observability.

Essential features absent from standard platforms

Key components like BYOC, handling stateful services, and disaster recovery are often not covered by standard platforms. This leaves you piecing together solutions. RBAC, SSO, and healthchecks need to be set up in every tool that falls outside of your platform.

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.
