Build Faster, at Scale, through Complexity

Speed up Development Cycles

Iterate rapidly with ephemeral environments that can be spun up and destroyed with a single command. Save time with environment definitions that include specific configurations and requisite sequencing.

Reproducible and Scalable

Kurtosis is built to be safe, with a deterministic execution order, error validation, and built in support for inter-service dependencies. With k8s support, build with quick cycles on your local machine or scaled for production on the cloud.

Run your Application Anywhere

Your application runs with a one line regardless of where you run it. You can build an application on local Docker, and reproduce the same experience on another machine or a K8’s cluster in the cloud.

Reduce Complexity, Increase Flexibility

Instantiating a distributed application is as simple as calling its function with the parameters you want. Make quick changes to your configuration with a simple JSON file with no background knowledge needed.
