Threeport is an application orchestration control plane. This repo will be hosting public releases until the source code for threeport is publicly released (coming soon).
Threeport exists to provide useful abstractions for running applications and their dependencies. The threeport control plane orchestrates the workloads that comprise your applications by treating the following as app dependencies:
- Infrastructure: Threeport provisions and manages infrastructure as a dependency of your app. Infrastructure that is used by your app is not provisioned until you instruct threeport to deploy your workloads.
- Kubernetes: Using threeport, you no longer have to install and manage
Kubernetes clusters. It is done for you by threeport at application runtime.
Kubernetes provides container orchestration and serves as the runtime environment
for threeport workloads. We aim to relieve you and your software delivery systems
of the need to use
kubectlor interact with the Kubernetes API when deploying your apps. Threeport will manage as many clusters as your requirements dictate without you having to develop your own Kubernetes federation system. - Support Services(coming soon): Applications running in Kubernetes require cluster support services that are installed on Kubernetes to serve the workloads that run there. This includes things like ingress request routing, TLS asset management, DNS record management, secrets management, log aggregation, monitoring, etc. Threeport will install these support services and configure them for your app as needed.
- Managed Services(coming soon): Many applications use cloud-provider managed services such as databases and object storage buckets as dependencies. With threeport you can declare those dependencies and those services will get provisioned for your workloads at runtime.
- Workloads: In addition to your primary user-facing application deployments, threeport manages any services you build in-house as a part of a distributed architecture (microservices). These are declared as workload dependencies and can be nested as your requirements dictate.
In summary, threeport provides a global control plane for your application deployments using battle-tested designs and best practices so you can trust that your software will run reliably. This frees you to concentrate on develivering value to your users.
User documentation can be found on our user docs site.
Threeport is not yet production-ready. It is in alpha stage development and APIs may change without notice. Do not build any integrations with the threeport API that are used for critical systems. In the near future, APIs will stabilize and guarantee backward compatibility. Additionally, there are security concerns and observability systems which are crucial for production that not yet implemented.
