Streamline Your Deployment Pipeline

From Git to production in no time

You don’t have to be a Kubernetes expert to use Kubernetes like one. Northflank organises and reduces complexity for container infra. For example, you can automatically spin up preview environments on every commit or only when a keyword is in the commit message.

Build on every commit

Once you push your code, our platform handles everything—from Docker builds to deployments, observability, auto-scaling, and disaster recovery.

Instant full-stack previews

Automatically create full-stack preview environments—including databases, microservices, and jobs—for every feature branch. Triggered via Git PRs, these ephemeral environments let you test and iterate faster.

Command line debugging

Interact with resources from your terminal. Tail logs, proxy services, execute into containers, and more.

Consistent environments

Prevent the “it works on my machine” problem. Ensure everyone is testing in the same environment that mirrors production, reducing bugs and integration issues.

The best possible developer experience

Work in the UX that works for you

Work in whatever way you want. Use Northflank’s thoughtfully designed web UI, API or the streamlined CLI. Deploy to a fully featured, well-organised, and expertly designed platform. Join 10,000+ developers already deploying with Northflank.

Modern cloud interface

Say goodbye to clunky cloud consoles. Northflank unifies disparate cloud services into a single, intuitive interface, simplifying management and improving productivity.

One consistent experience

Forget outdated cloud consoles and enjoy the same developer experience on every cloud. Your deployment pipelines, stateful workloads, and ephemeral preview environments are portable between cloud providers.

Any language, any framework

Your platform is only as powerful as the workloads it supports. Northflank is truly polyglot, supporting all languages and frameworks. Not just Next.js. Not just MySQL. Not just AWS.

Exceptional DX

Define your applications as reusable templates, and Northflank will manage the infrastructure. Details like the port number are inferred from your dockerfile. Manage and change workload settings through Northflank’s web UI or streamlined CLI. Skip the YAML hell that accompanies most container platforms.

A complete platform experience

DevOps like a pro

Northflank provides out-of-the-box support for logging, metrics, CDN integrations, container registry integrations, domain names, and certificate management. Service meshes are pre-installed, beautified and programmatically managed.

Logs and metrics at the workload level

Northflank offers built in logs and metrics at the workload level. Debug your workloads without calling the DevOps or SRE team. Monitor the state of all your resources with pipeline overviews, health status, and alerts.

Enhance workloads with advanced features

Easily configure service mesh, automated backups, and auto-scaling. Want to deploy on spot instances? Do it in a few clicks on Northflank. Start simple, and reach for deeper customisation options when you need them.

Secure by default env vars

Easily inject environment variables and arguments at runtime without exposing them in your codebase. Set up your secrets in a few minutes, and trust they’re securely encrypted.

Plug in your favourite solutions

Northflank is a pick-and-mix platform. Already have a build tool? Great, we’ll support that. And, a favourite observability provider? Log sinks and native integrations are available for the top tools. Like using GitHub Actions for CI? We support that, too.

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.

Overcoming Common Development Challenges

Why Preview Environments Matter

Building realistic preview environments is essential for modern development, yet it presents challenges that can slow down your workflow. Northflank addresses these issues head-on.

Complexity of Full-Stack Previews

Setting up previews that include databases, microservices, and jobs is complex. Northflank simplifies this with automated, reproducible environments.

Seamless Integration from Git to Production

Define every step post-commit with ease. Northflank integrates with your CI/CD pipelines, ensuring smooth transitions from development to production.

Efficient Scaling

Manage your ephemeral environments effectively. Northflank provides tools to scale up when needed and scale down to save resources, all automatically.

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.
