klight documentation

Welcome — your full-stack K8s sloth is here to help.

klight is a Kubernetes dev-environment manager. One command brings up databases, message brokers, and all your services in the right order. Another tears everything down. Every developer gets their own isolated namespace — without writing a single line of K8s YAML.

There are three ways to use klight:

  • World 1 — Local dev: you have the code, no CI pipeline, you want a real K8s stack locally.
  • World 2 — Team sync: new dev, no local clones needed — one URL gets the full stack running from CI images.
  • World 3 — Remote cluster: team outgrew local minikube; DevOps sets up EKS/GKE/AKS once, devs connect with a token.
First time? Go to Install then Quick start — you'll have a full stack running in under 5 minutes.
