## What it is
Kyma is an opinionated set of Kubernetes-based modular building blocks for developing and running enterprise-grade cloud-native applications, backed by SAP and serving as the foundation of SAP BTP, Kyma runtime. It provides independently delivered modules such as Serverless, Istio service mesh, API Gateway, Application Connector, BTP service management, and Telemetry that can be installed individually on any Kubernetes cluster.

## Use cases
- run serverless functions on kubernetes
- add istio service mesh to my cluster
- expose and secure apis on kubernetes
- connect external sap systems to kubernetes apps
- consume cloud services from gcp azure aws in kubernetes
- collect and ship telemetry to observability backends
- extend sap btp with custom cloud-native applications

## When to choose
- you want pre-integrated, enterprise-grade kubernetes modules maintained by sap
- you build extensions or integrations for the sap ecosystem or sap btp
- you want an opinionated runtime instead of assembling istio, nats, and opentelemetry yourself

## When to avoid
- you need only a single small tool rather than a modular application runtime
- you are not on kubernetes and cannot adopt a cluster-based platform
- you want a fully vendor-neutral stack with no sap ecosystem coupling

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: microservices, api-gateway, deployment, serverless, monitoring, service-discovery
- domain: cloud-computing, microservices, apis, backend
- platform: go, self-hosted, cloud
- tags: kubernetes-modules, sap-btp, istio, knative, cloud-native, enterprise, modular-runtime, devops, containers, kubernetes, docker
