About Kratix

Kratix is an open source framework for platform orchestration. It enables building platform capabilities once and delivering them consistently to developers, automation, and AI agents. Platform teams define capabilities as Promises, combining infrastructure, workflows, policies, and operational expertise into reusable building blocks. Requests can originate from developer portals, APIs, CLIs, GitOps workflows, MCPs, automation, or AI agents and be consumed through a consistent, governed experience. Kratix is described as a platform-building framework, not a portal. It is created and maintained by Syntasso.

How to evaluate Infrastructure as Code

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Kratix. It comes from our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Platforms buyer guide.

25%
Language & Authoring Model
Declarative DSL (HCL) vs. general-purpose language (TypeScript, Python, Go, C#); readability for reviewers vs. expressive power (loops, conditionals, abstractions); module/component reuse and registry maturity; testing and IDE support; learning curve for the people who will actually write infrastructure
20%
State Management & Drift
Where state is stored, remote-state locking to prevent concurrent-apply corruption, state encryption and secret handling, plan/preview fidelity, drift detection and continuous reconciliation, import of existing resources, and blast-radius controls on apply
20%
Policy-as-Code & Governance
OPA/Rego and Sentinel support, pre-apply guardrails (block non-compliant resources, mandatory tags, region/cost limits), RBAC and SSO/SAML/SCIM, audit logging, approval workflows, and integration with cost-estimation and security scanning in the pipeline
15%
Provider Ecosystem & Portability
Breadth and quality of providers/resource coverage, day-one support for new cloud services, multi-cloud and on-prem reach, third-party SaaS providers, and how locked-in the resulting code is to one vendor or one cloud
10%
Collaboration & Workflow (TACOS)
Run orchestration and queuing, VCS/PR-driven plans, stack dependencies, self-service environments with TTL/ephemeral teardown, drift remediation workflows, and whether you self-host in CI (Atlantis-style) or buy a managed platform
10%
Licensing & Project Health
License (open-source MPL/Apache vs. source-available BUSL vs. proprietary), governance and ownership after recent M&A, release cadence and roadmap, community/foundation backing (CNCF, Linux Foundation), and how easily you could exit or fork
