Kubero
Heroku alternative for Kubernetes — deploy 12-factor apps easily

Kubero is an open-source Platform as a Service (PaaS) that brings a Heroku-like experience to Kubernetes, allowing developers to deploy applications without writing Kubernetes manifests or Dockerfiles. It operates as a Kubernetes Operator with an intuitive UI, supporting GitOps workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and multiple build strategies including buildpacks, Nixpacks, and Dockerfiles. It also supports a range of add-ons such as MySQL, Redis, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, all manageable through its UI.
Kubero installs as a Kubernetes Operator with a UI, using a single Custom Resource Definition to deploy apps from Git repositories via push-triggered CI/CD pipelines, with optional add-ons managed through the interface.
