Ship the internal Heroku. Skip the two-year build. // AppBahn gives your developers Vercel-class DX on your cluster.
Your CTO asked for a "Heroku for us." You priced the build at eighteen months and a headcount of three. AppBahn is the install you deploy instead. Real Kubernetes underneath, a console your developers click through on top.
Three things platform teams hear in every standup.
The "build a Heroku" ticket
Someone put "give the team a Heroku-like developer experience" on the roadmap, and now it is yours. The clock is running.
Vercel-ish DX without the vendor
Developers want git push → live URL. Security wants the workload on your cluster. You want neither to compromise.
Not a YAML workshop
You do not want to teach twelve product teams kustomize, Helm, Argo CD, and cert-manager. You want one console they click through.
A platform, not a toolkit.
AppBahn is opinionated the way a product is opinionated. You install one operator; your developers get one console. Everything else — builds, rollouts, domains, TLS, logs, RBAC — is already wired.
Git-to-pod in one click
Connect a repo, AppBahn builds and rolls out. Rollback is image-digest-based, not tag-based.
RBAC that matches your org
Four-level hierarchy: workspace → project → environment → resource. Map teams once; inheritance handles the rest.
Runs on your cluster
On-prem, AWS, GCP, Hetzner, bare metal, edge — any conformant Kubernetes. We ship the operator; your cluster is the runtime.
Observability already wired
Metrics to Prometheus. Logs to Victoria Logs. Traces planned. Correlation IDs end-to-end.
Quotas, audit, SSO
Per-workspace quotas, append-only audit log, OIDC group → role mapping. The boring stuff that makes platform-as-a-product real.
