Gimlet is an open-source Internal Developer Platform (IDP) solution designed to streamline application deployment and management on Kubernetes. It empowers development teams to self-serve, deploying applications quickly and reliably without needing deep Kubernetes expertise. Gimlet achieves this by providing a simplified, opinionated interface and automating common deployment tasks, reducing the cognitive load on developers and improving overall developer velocity and satisfaction. Gimlet provides a centralized management layer for environments, allowing platform engineers to define and enforce policies. This ensures consistency and security across deployments. Key use cases include simplifying Kubernetes onboarding for developers, managing multiple environments efficiently, and enabling self-service deployments while maintaining governance and compliance.
