Why use Epinio?
Developer Happiness
Reduce the stress and focus on your application logic instead of Container or Kubernetes details.
Fast & Lightweight
Epinio runs well on any Kubernetes Cluster including your local development machine with Rancher Desktop
Flexible with Sane Defaults
Epinio uses Kubernetes generics and open-source components to give a fantastic developer experience without locking you into our idea of what an application looks like.

Push from Source
Push your code directly to the platform without needing to build complicated CD pipelines or writing any yaml.


Debugging tools
Dig into what your application is doing with your favorite debugger or IDE.
How it Works
The Epinio API server uses build packs to create container images from source code.
A single `epinio push` builds an image and deploys the application. Once Epinio has been installed no further Kubernetes knowledge is needed to develop and deploy applications.
How To Get Involved
Epinio is an open source project hosted on GitHub. Bugs and features are tracked through issues and new code is reviewed through pull requests.
