Who it's for

DevOps engineers, platform teams, and SREs who manage applications across one or more Kubernetes clusters and want a unified dashboard for CI/CD, GitOps, and cluster operations.

What you get

A Kubernetes dashboard covering Helm/ArgoCD/FluxCD application management, fine-grained RBAC and SSO, cost visibility (FinOps), cluster-provisioning plugins, and CI/CD pipelines, installable via a single Helm chart.

How it works

Devtron is installed into a Kubernetes cluster with a Helm chart and additional clusters are connected through Global Configurations; it drives deployments through GitOps tools (ArgoCD/FluxCD) or direct Helm releases and enforces access through built-in RBAC.
