Skyhook

Kubernetes internal developer platform

Visit Skyhook

Skyhook is a Kubernetes-based internal developer platform that runs in the customer's own cloud accounts or on existing clusters, covering AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, on-prem, and bring-your-own Kubernetes. It orchestrates open source and enterprise tools such as ArgoCD, Kyverno, and Grafana to provide self-service deployments, preview environments, canary rollouts, monitoring, secret management, and GitOps-based CI/CD, giving developers autonomy while retaining DevOps control.

Capabilities include deployment from CLI, API, or UI, template-driven environment setup, reusable self-service actions, and an AI agent with MCP server context for AI-driven developer self-service. The platform spans the software development lifecycle across build, deploy, run, grow, and observe stages.

Skyhook is offered in Free, Premium, and Enterprise editions. The free plan supports up to 3 git-connected users, 3 services, and 1 cluster with self-onboarding; Premium adds higher limits, professional onboarding, and email and chat support; Enterprise includes unlimited users, services, and clusters, on-prem architecture support, RBAC, SSO, and 24/7 support. Monthly and yearly billing options are available.
