The product creates Kubernetes development environments from existing cluster manifests to solve YAML drift, manual namespace setup, and slow feedback cycles for microservices. It sells to developers and platform and engineering teams in B2B organizations that run applications on Kubernetes. It is positioned as treating the cluster as the source of truth by reading running workloads into App Catalogs with no new YAML required, delivered as SaaS via a lightweight in-cluster manager over an outbound TLS tunnel.
