Canine

A Developer-friendly PaaS for your Kubernetes·canine.sh

Canine is an open source platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for Kubernetes that lets developers deploy and manage applications with the simplicity of Heroku. It provides a web interface and CLI for git-push deployments, service management, add-ons, SSL, and multi-cluster administration without writing YAML. Users can run Canine on their own infrastructure (self-hosted) or use the managed Canine Cloud offering.

Pricing

Canine itself is free (open source, self-hosted, or a free managed Cloud option). The pricing/cost calculator page compares the cost of running an app across third-party cloud providers (e.g., Heroku, Fly.io, Render, Digital Ocean, Hetzner), not Canine's own pricing.
