Kubero is a free, self-hosted PaaS platform and open-source alternative to Heroku for easily deploying and managing 12-Factor Apps on Kubernetes.

---

🚀 Overview

Kubero is a self-hosted Platform as a Service (PaaS) designed to make Kubernetes deployments as simple as Heroku, Netlify, or Vercel, but fully under your control on your own clusters.

It solves the problem of Kubernetes complexity—eliminating the need for writing YAML manifests, managing Helm charts, or deep K8s expertise—by providing GitOps-based push-to-deploy, one-click templates, and automated scaling. It's built for developers and DevOps teams who want scalable, cloud-native app deployments without vendor lock-in or costs. We built it to democratize Kubernetes, offering enterprise-grade features like autoscaling, monitoring, and add-ons for free and self-hosted.

✨ Key Features

• Push to Deploy (GitOps): Connect Git repos (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) for automatic builds and deployments on push/PR, with review apps for PRs.
• 160+ Templates & Add-ons: One-click installs for apps like WordPress, Grafana, and databases (PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, etc.).
• Autoscaling & Monitoring: Horizontal scaling, high availability, built-in metrics/logs, vulnerability scans with Trivy, and notifications (Discord/Slack/webhooks).
• Advanced Tools: Cronjobs, web console, sleeping containers, SSL via Let's Encrypt, SSO (GitHub/OAuth2), CLI/API for automation, multi-tenancy.
