Signadot

Lightweight Kubernetes sandboxes for every code change from developers or coding agents

Visit Signadot

Signadot is a Kubernetes-native platform that provides ephemeral, isolated environments called Sandboxes, letting developers and coding agents test code changes against real services and dependencies without duplicating infrastructure. Sandboxes fork only the services a change touches and reuse shared dependencies, so a single cluster can host many concurrent environments.

The platform includes Sandboxes for isolated environments, Jobs for running existing test suites such as Playwright and Cypress in the cluster, and Plans for composing reusable validation workflows. It supports local development through an MCP server and CLI, request routing via service mesh or built-in proxies, context propagation through OpenTelemetry, resource plugins for provisioning databases and queues, and message queue isolation for Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, and Pub/Sub. Integrations cover service meshes, CI/GitOps, test frameworks, and coding agents.

Signadot targets developers, platform engineers, and engineering leaders working with microservices and coding agents. A free plan is available with a playground cluster, and a demo can be booked.
