Lemur is a TLS certificate management and orchestration service that acts as a broker between certificate authorities and environments, providing a central portal for developers to issue certificates with sane defaults. It is a Python-based web application from Netflix, now archived and read-only as of July 2026.
Use cases
- manage tls certificates across my infrastructure
- issue ssl certificates from a central portal
- track certificate expiration and renewals
- broker certificate requests to multiple CAs
- self-hosted certificate lifecycle management
- automate ssl certificate issuance for aws environments
When to choose
- you need centralized TLS certificate issuance and tracking across many teams or CAs
- you want a self-hosted alternative to ad-hoc certificate management
- you are already invested in Lemur and only need to keep running an existing deployment
When to avoid
- you need active maintenance, security patches, or community support - the project is archived and read-only
- you only need simple ACME/Let's Encrypt automation where tools like certbot or Caddy suffice
- you are starting a new certificate management deployment from scratch
