What is CNDI?

The CNDI framework makes it easy to self-host open-source distributed systems with GitOps and Infrastructure as Code. Deploy production grade application clusters in any environment, and improve them over time using the Git workflow that developers use every day.

Why Self-Host Infrastructure?

When it comes to deploying your applications, choosing between self-hosting and PaaS options can significantly impact your control, costs, and flexibility. Here’s why CNDI Self-Hosting might be the better option for your needs.

Managed
from Git

CNDI Apps are managed from Git. GitOps and Infrastructure-as-code go hand-in-hand as the best way to manage your apps. Get started using the Git workflow your engineering team uses already.

Cluster Customization

Self-Host your cluster using CNDI and gain full control over your application deployment. No features gated behind paywalls, and you can get the most out of your hardware to suit your unique requirements. If you don’t need anything too special, CNDI App Templates will give you great defaults out of the box.

Operational Cost

CNDI Self-Hosting is a low cost alternative to the recurring expenses and hidden fees associated with PaaS. Avoid confusing price structures, annoying vendor lock-in, and be in control of your spending.

Use CNDI Templates
for Simplified Deployments

Interactive Configuration

Easily deploy any application in our Template library to a supported cloud destination in minutes. Templates are a CNDI concept, and they can be thought of as a "blueprint" for a data stack, built on top of ArgoCD, Helm Charts, and Terraform. Check out all our supported templates below.

Infrastructure as Code and GitOps

Manage the infrastructure and configuration of your cluster as code in Git.

Security and Auditability

Ensure secure systems, with all cluster changes made and traced through Git.

Built-in Observability
