Why Kratix?

Kratix is designed and built by a team with decades of experience creating internal developer platforms. We've learned that great platforms address three key challenges faced by enterprise organisations:

  • Slow delivery of value because software engineers must wait weeks for other teams to process their tickets.
  • Inconsistent application of key business rules as teams create shadow IT systems to bypass lengthy ticket queues, introducing business risk.
  • Tech sprawl leading to operational overhead as SRE, DevOps, and Platform Teams spend their time maintaining services and infrastructure instead of improving them.

A Kratix Promise enables you to provide anything-as-a-service, eliminating the need for engineers to wait for manual ticket processing.

Workflows let you embed any business rule into your Promise definition, from security scans and billing checks to manual approvals.

And with Kratix's built-in Fleet Management capabilities, you can maintain and upgrade all your resources with a single click.
