Kuberns is an AI-powered Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) designed to simplify cloud deployment, scaling, and DevOps automation for startups, freelancers, IT teams, and enterprises.

This document outlines the core concepts of Kuberns, providing a foundation for understanding how to leverage its features to deploy and manage applications efficiently.

Projects​

A project in Kuberns is the central organizational unit that groups all related services, configurations, and resources.

It acts as a container for your application’s components, enabling centralized management and streamlined workflows.

Key features of projects include:

  • Unified Management: Oversee all services, environments, and settings from a single dashboard.
  • Version Control Integration: Seamlessly connect with GitHub to manage your codebase and automate deployments.
  • Multi-Service Support: Handle multiple backend and frontend services within a single project, ensuring cohesive scaling and monitoring.
  • AI-Driven Optimization: Kuberns’ AI automatically optimizes resource allocation across services, reducing costs and improving performance.

Projects are ideal for organizing complex applications, allowing you to deploy, monitor, and scale with ease.

Services​

Services are the individual components of your application within a Kuberns project. They represent deployable units, such as backend APIs or frontend interfaces, and are independently configurable to meet specific needs.

Key aspects of services include:

  • Independent Scaling: Each service can scale independently based on demand, with AI ensuring optimal resource allocation.
  • Simplified Configuration: Set up services with minimal input choose a hosting region, name your service, and let Kuberns’ AI handle the rest (e.g., template selection, database setup).
  • Environment Management: Configure environment variables manually or via a .env file upload for secure and flexible deployment.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Access live logs, usage stats, and detailed metrics for each service through the Kuberns Dashboard.

Services enable granular control over your application, making it easy to develop, deploy, and manage individual components without complexity.

Plans​

Plans in Kuberns define the resource levels and features available to your projects and services.

They are designed to cater to a wide range of users, from independent developers to scaling startups.

Key details include:

  • Flexible Tiers: Start with the free Starter plan for small projects, and upgrade to advanced tiers as your needs grow.
  • Cost Efficiency: Plans are optimized for cost, with Kuberns aggregating compute across users to unlock enterprise-level pricing, saving up to 40% on cloud costs.
  • Scalable Resources: Higher-tier plans provide increased compute, storage, and bandwidth to support growing applications.
  • No Hidden Fees: Pay only for the resources you use, monitoring, logging, and scaling tools are included at no extra cost.

Plans ensure you have the right resources at every stage of your application’s lifecycle, balancing performance and affordability.

Template​

Templates in Kuberns are predefined configurations that accelerate the setup of new services.

While traditionally used to standardize setups, Kuberns has evolved to minimize reliance on manual template selection:

  • AI-Driven Setup: Kuberns’ AI automatically detects your application’s requirements and applies the appropriate configurations, eliminating the need to choose a template manually.
  • Customizable Defaults: If needed, you can customize AI-suggested configurations to fit specific use cases, ensuring flexibility.
  • Consistency Across Services: Templates (or AI-driven equivalents) maintain uniformity across your project, reducing setup errors.

Templates, combined with AI automation, enable rapid service initialization, saving time and ensuring best practices are applied.

Databases​

Databases in Kuberns are seamlessly integrated to store and manage your application’s data.

They are designed for performance, scalability, and ease of use:

  • AI-Optimized Setup: Kuberns’ AI configures databases automatically during deployment, selecting the appropriate type and settings based on your codebase.
  • Scalable Plans: Select database plans that align with your performance requirements, with options to upgrade as your data needs grow.
  • Monitoring and Management: Track database performance via the Kuberns Dashboard, with metrics on storage, queries, and usage.

Databases in Kuberns are managed effortlessly, ensuring your application’s data layer is robust and scalable without manual intervention.

Kafka​

Kafka in Kuberns provides a powerful distributed streaming platform for handling real-time data pipelines.

It acts as a message broker, enabling efficient data transfer between services:

  • Data Streaming: Organize data into topics and stream it reliably between producers and consumers, ideal for event-driven architectures.
  • AI-Enhanced Integration: Kuberns’ AI automatically configures Kafka for your services, optimizing throughput and latency based on workload patterns.
  • Scalability: Scale Kafka clusters seamlessly to handle increasing data volumes, with Kuberns managing the underlying infrastructure.
  • Monitoring: Access Kafka metrics, such as message throughput and latency, directly from the Kuberns Dashboard.

Kafka is perfect for SaaS applications that require real-time data processing, such as analytics pipelines or user activity tracking.

Redis​

Redis in Kuberns offers an in-memory data store for high-performance caching, queuing, and real-time data management:

  • Caching and Speed: Use Redis to cache frequently accessed data, reducing database load and improving application response times.
  • AI-Optimized Configuration: Kuberns’ AI sets up Redis with optimal memory and eviction policies based on your application’s needs.
  • Scalability: Scale Redis instances effortlessly to support growing traffic, with Kuberns handling resource allocation.
  • Real-Time Insights: Monitor Redis performance, including hit rates and memory usage, through the Kuberns Dashboard.

Redis enhances your application’s performance by enabling fast data access and efficient task queuing, making it ideal for session management, leaderboards, or pub/sub messaging.

AI Automation​

Kuberns leverages AI to streamline the entire deployment process:

  • Auto-Deployment: From repository connection to live app, AI handles environment setup, system configuration, and deployment tasks.
  • Smart Shutdowns: AI detects idle environments and shuts them down, preventing unnecessary costs.
  • Predictive Scaling: Resources scale dynamically based on real-time demand, ensuring performance during traffic spikes.

Security​

Security is embedded in every layer of Kuberns:

  • Encrypted Secrets: Store environment variables securely with end-to-end encryption.
  • Role-Based Access: Control who can manage services and projects with granular permissions.
  • Isolated Runtimes: Each service runs in its own isolated environment for enhanced safety.
  • Audit Logs: Track all activities and changes for compliance and transparency.

Kuberns Dashboard​

The Kuberns Dashboard serves as your control center:

  • Live Insights: Monitor usage stats, resources, and performance metrics in real time.
  • Build History: Review deployment activities and logs for troubleshooting.
  • No YAML Required: Configure services and environments directly through the UI, simplifying management.
