Krateo Platformops is an open source developer portal and cloud cost optimizer that lets users create and manage resources—from Kubernetes clusters to databases—on any infrastructure using declarative YAML files. It centralizes software catalogs, enables platform engineers to standardize workflows through "golden paths," and reduces total cost of ownership across the software lifecycle. The platform emphasizes composable, cloud-native infrastructure with enhanced governance for distributed teams.

Problem
Organizations managing cloud-native infrastructure often struggle with fragmented tooling, inconsistent workflows, and rising operational costs. Developers face friction when provisioning resources across different platforms, while platform engineers lack a centralized way to standardize processes and enforce governance across distributed teams.
Solution
Krateo Platformops provides an open source, all-in-one developer portal that enables users to create any desired resource—such as Kubernetes clusters, microservices, applications, pipelines, or databases—on virtually any infrastructure. The platform requires only a YAML file describing the resource's desired state, simplifying provisioning and management. It centralizes the software catalog, allowing teams to add, manage, and improve efficiency in one self-service interface. Platform engineers can create "golden paths" to standardize processes and stack choices, while the platform reduces total cost of ownership across technical, operational, process, and people dimensions.
Target Audience
Primary users are platform engineering teams and developers in organizations running cloud-native infrastructure who need a centralized portal for resource provisioning, standardization, and cost optimization.
