Kubernetes deployment platform with Heroku-like simplicity
Canine brings intuitive, Heroku-style deployment workflows to Kubernetes clusters. Self-host with Docker Compose or use the managed cloud offering for teams.
Canine is a deployment platform that bridges the gap between Kubernetes power and Heroku simplicity. Designed for developers and teams who want container orchestration without the operational complexity, Canine provides an intuitive interface for managing applications on Kubernetes clusters.
The open-source version runs locally via Docker Compose, giving you full control over your deployment infrastructure. Install with a single command and access the web UI to manage your Kubernetes workloads through a streamlined interface. Customize ports and configuration to fit your environment.
For teams seeking reduced maintenance overhead, Canine Cloud adds GitHub integration for automated deployment workflows, role-based access control for collaboration, and real-time metrics tracking—all without managing the platform infrastructure yourself.
Whether you're running a side project or coordinating deployments across a small engineering team, Canine eliminates the steep learning curve typically associated with Kubernetes while preserving its scalability and flexibility.
When teams consider Canine, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Startup Migration from Heroku
Reduce hosting costs by 60% while maintaining familiar deployment workflows on self-managed Kubernetes infrastructure
Internal Developer Platform
Enable product engineers to deploy microservices independently without requiring deep Kubernetes expertise from each team member
Staging Environment Management
Spin up isolated preview environments for pull requests with simple UI controls instead of complex kubectl commands
Small Team Collaboration
Coordinate deployments across 3-10 developers using Canine Cloud's role-based access and GitHub integration
Yes, Canine is a deployment platform that manages applications on your Kubernetes cluster. You'll need a cluster already configured before installing Canine.
The self-hosted version runs via Docker Compose on your infrastructure. Canine Cloud adds GitHub integration, team collaboration, role-based access control, and real-time metrics without platform maintenance.
Yes, set the PORT environment variable when running docker compose up (e.g., PORT=3456 docker compose up -d) to use a custom port instead of the default 3000.
Docker v24.0.0 or higher and Docker Compose v2.0.0 or higher. The platform itself is lightweight and runs as containerized services.
Canine is under active development with a growing community. Evaluate your specific reliability, support, and feature requirements before deploying mission-critical applications.
