OpenChoreo isn't just a toolkit—it's a full foundation for building your Internal Developer Platform. It brings clarity, security, and self-service to every stage of your developer experience.
Golden Paths by Design
Define opinionated workflows that guide developers from idea to production—without writing pipelines from scratch.
Zero Trust Security Built In
Every connection and endpoint is explicitly declared and enforced via mTLS and Cilium policies—no implicit access, ever.
Observable by Default
Logs, metrics, and traces are automatically captured across gateways and services—no extra setup needed.
Composable and Extensible
Use just what you need. OpenChoreo integrates with your stack, supports GitOps, and adapts to your platform strategy.
Clear Separation of Concerns
Platform engineers define the guardrails. Developers focus on delivering value.
Service Catalog and Discoverability
APIs, events, and data streams are registered with metadata—making reuse and governance easy.
Built-in API Management
Expose APIs through Envoy-based gateways with support for routing, rate limits, auth, and traffic control—no manual config needed.
