Instant end-to-end DevOpsBiz

Flinkwerk is the first and only ready-to-use Cloud Native Computing System that seamlessly integrates DevOps with recurring billing functionality. For the first time, developers can offer up new packaged cloud solutions and resources on an open marketplace with just a few lines of YAML configuration.

Seamless transition to cloud-native DevOpsBiz

Flinkwerk is giving you an unobtrusive way to turn a non cloud-native DevOps process into a cloud-native one. By looking up a single Flinkwerk configuration file in your project repository, Flinkwerk will independently manage the clusters and deployment environments related to your project without affecting your existing systems.

Develop

Declarative workflows

Flinkwerk allows you to store all your workflows in simple YAML configuration files called Flinkwerk Config.

  • Codify workflow knowledge about building images, deploying your project and its dependencies etc.
  • Version your workflows together with your code (i.e. you can get any old version up and running with just a single command).
  • Share and reuse your workflows.

Collaboration

Flinkwerk helps your teams to standardize development, deployment and distribution workflows without requiring everyone on your team to become a DevOps and billing expert.

  • Codified DevOps: Quickly configure cluster deployments in the YAML-based Flinkwerk configuration – no DevOps or Kubernetes knowledge required!
  • One command onboarding: Issue one Flinkwerk CLI command to have a running instance and to deploy a project – including image building, inheritance and deployment of other related projects.
  • Dynamic environments: Automated branch and environment-specific management of variables and configurations, including review apps.

Inheritance

Use your own or third-party products as the basis for new Flinkwerk projects or products.

Dependencies

Easily build solutions by combining cloud-native products as dependencies within your Flinkwerk project.

Budget control

Define the monthly budget available for purchases within Flinkwerk on a per-project basis.

Any tool

Integrate with your favourite tools throughout your development pipeline - Flinkwerk works with all development tools you use including GitHub, GitLab and CircleCI.

Any language

Develop software projects with Flinkwerk in any programming language suitable for the task, because Flinkwerk is based on portable container images.

Deploy

Automation

Delivering cloud native software or resources requires a lot of knowledge. Let Flinkwerk automate the tedious parts of the production process so you can focus on adding value instead.

  • It's easy to connect your favourite CI/CD platform such as GitHub Actions or GitLab Pipelines with Flinkwerk to have any code change deployed automatically after a Git push.
  • Flinkwerk builds multiple images in parallel, tags them automatically and deploys your entire application (including its dependencies) without manual intervention.
  • The Flinkwerk Product lifecycle is completely configurable and you can also add your own workflow wich you can reuse and/or sell through the marketplace.

Multi-Cloud

  • Flinkwerk is not bound to one provider. Instead, multiple cloud computing and storage resources can be used in a single Flinkwerk project.
  • Everyone can offer such resources on Flinkwerk Marketplace as a product.
  • Users of Flinkwerk are free to select any clusters offered in Flinkwerk Marketplace to deploy projects.
  • You can also set up a cluster on your own and connect it directly with Flinkwerk.

Multi-Method

  • CIOps: The Continuous Integration system runs build and tests, followed by a deployment directly to Kubernetes.
  • GitOps: An operator keeps the environment configuration constantly in sync with the current state of deployment.

Maintenance tools

Maintenance tools for monitoring, backup and more can be added as project dependencies for your project or product. They’ll be deployed automatically as well.
