Riser

Riser is an opinionated app platform built on Kubernetes and Knative. It provides a radically simplified application deployment and management experience without vendor lock-in.

⚠️ This is an experimental project with the goal of improving how we deploy and manage common application workloads. You're invited to look around and provide feedback. It is not yet advised to use Riser in production. Breaking changes may occur frequently and without warning.

Key Features

• Radically simplified deployment and management of 12 factor apps
• PaaS experience without vendor or cloud lock-in
• Single view of apps across multiple environments (e.g. dev/test/prod)
• Simplified secrets management
• GitOps: All state changes happen through git
• App developers only need access to Riser. Kubernetes cluster access is optional for advanced debugging or operational tasks
