Kusion is an intent-driven platform orchestrator for building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs), written in Go and a CNCF Sandbox project. Developers declare a single AppConfiguration, and Kusion generates and deploys the workload plus all resource dependencies across Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.
Use cases
- build an internal developer platform on kubernetes
- enable developer self-service application deployment
- manage app configurations across environments without env-specific values
- orchestrate application delivery to kubernetes and multiple clouds
- codify platform modules for platform engineering golden paths
- shift-left validation of deployment configurations
- deploy apps with all their infrastructure dependencies from one spec
When to choose
- you are a platform engineer building an IDP with Kubernetes and cloud infra
- you want app-centric, intent-driven deployment instead of hand-writing manifests or Terraform per team
- you need reusable modules separating platform engineer and app developer concerns
- you want a lightweight, CNCF-backed alternative to heavier platform orchestrators
When to avoid
- you only need simple Kubernetes manifests without platform abstraction
- your team is not adopting platform engineering or self-service models
- you need a mature GA product with large enterprise support guarantees
- you are not deploying to Kubernetes or cloud infrastructure
