[Watch the booking application demo.](https://ankra.ai/video/booking-launch/desktop.mp4?v=3)

You’ve built a booking application. You ask: “Our new booking system is ready. Let’s use Ankra to get it live.” In this edited simulation, Ankra connects the repository, builds and scans the image, connects PostgreSQL using stored credentials, and deploys the application with HTTPS. A visitor opens the example app, selects a time and confirms a booking. You build it, Ankra runs it.

One platform. The infrastructure you choose.

AWS  Google Cloud  Azure  Hetzner  OVHcloud  UpCloud  DigitalOcean  Your servers

From working code to a working business

## Your app works.
 Now people will rely on it.

Getting it live is a milestone. Keeping it fast, available and affordable is an ongoing job. Where should it run? Who connects the services? Who handles the next update, or the next problem?

- Fast for your users
- There when they need it
- A bill that makes sense

### You have a few ways to get there.

Explore what each asks of your team.

### 01  An app hosting platform  Platforms like Vercel  A quick path from your repository to a live app.  What to consider

#### How well does the platform fit your app?

Check its runtimes, service integrations and pricing against what you need today and what you expect as you grow.

### 02  Managed cloud services  AWS · Azure · Google Cloud  Let a provider operate individual services for you.  What to consider

#### Who brings the whole system together?

Your team still connects the services, manages application releases and access, and keeps track of the combined bill.

### 03  Build your own platform  Your tools · Your infrastructure  Choose the components and shape every part of the setup.  What to consider

#### How much can your team take on?

Pipelines, monitoring, security, backups and upgrades all need a workflow and someone responsible for keeping it working.

Or bring it together with Ankra

### Keep building your product.
*Make running it simpler.*

Ankra connects the work of deploying your app and keeping it running on Kubernetes. Your team and AI agents work together, on your cloud or private servers.

[Start with your app](https://platform.ankra.app/auth/signup)  [See how it works](https://ankra.ai/how-it-works)

Already running something? Bring your existing cluster and services.

- #### Your whole app, connected.

  Bring deployments, databases and other services into one operating platform.
- #### Your team and agents, with context.

  Use live logs, metrics and findings to investigate problems and review the next change.
- #### More control over how you run.

  See estimated costs. Choose your infrastructure. Run open source services where they make sense.

Built on Kubernetes. Keep standard Kubernetes and Helm configuration in Git. Reuse your setup as you add apps and environments.

The work after the code

## Building is faster.
The platform work  should be too.

Deployments, databases, environments, failures, security. Ankra connects the work of running applications on Kubernetes, so every new application can build on a platform you already have.

 [Why we built Ankra](https://ankra.ai/why-ankra)

Keep it healthy

### The app is live. Your agent has context.

When something fails, bring the logs, events and resource state into the investigation. Your team and its agents can understand the problem, propose a fix, and follow the work in the same platform.

Live investigation  Illustrative workflow

Why is my application failing?

Evidence from the running app

Application container is restarting

```
Error: DATABASE_URL is not configured
```

Logs and deployment configuration point to a missing environment secret.

Proposed change

Connect the database secret

Reference the stored credential in the application's environment. Review the change before the next deployment.

Prepared for review

Reuse the platform

### Reuse your setup for the next environment.

Save a working setup for your app and services as a versioned profile. Choose a cluster and settings for staging, testing or a new customer. Ankra prepares a configuration draft for your team to review before deploying.

Security & governance

### Your app grows. Your team stays in control.

As more people depend on your app, keep risks, access and changes visible. Ankra scans code and images, helps prioritise vulnerabilities, protects secrets and lets you set permissions for people and agents. Review changes that need approval and follow what ran.

Security & governance  Illustrative workflow

Protect your app

#### Find the risks that need your attention.

Scan code and images. Connect container vulnerabilities to the apps that run them, with exploitation evidence and available fixes.

1. Scan what you ship
2. See which apps are affected
3. Prioritise what to fix

The real workflow

## Ankra turns a repository into a running application.

Watch Ankra read a GitHub project, add its Dockerfile and pipeline as a pull request, build and scan it, prove it on staging, and run it on your own server at its own HTTPS address. This is a recorded walkthrough, not a deployment-time guarantee.

Built for the way you build now

## Your coding agent can become your  operating agent.

Writing code is only half the job. Ankra gives agents the live context, permissions and tools to work with the infrastructure running it.

FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

### What does Ankra do once I have built an application?

Ankra is an AI-powered Kubernetes platform. It helps prepare infrastructure, build and scan your code, deploy it to Kubernetes, and operate the running application. Your team and its agents can inspect live logs, events and resource state through the same platform.

### Why does Ankra use Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open source foundation for running containerised applications and services. Ankra adds connected workflows for delivery, cluster management and AI-assisted operations. You can use your cloud or private servers, keep standard Kubernetes and Helm configuration, and reuse a working setup across environments.

### Can I use the AI agent I already build with?

Yes. Use Ankra AI, or connect your coding agent through the Ankra CLI or MCP tools. Your team chooses the tools and access it grants. AI stack drafts and gated actions are reviewed before execution; direct CLI and API calls use the caller's permissions.

### Do I still own my configuration?

Yes. Infrastructure configuration lives in your Git repository as Kubernetes manifests and Helm chart values. You keep the files and the infrastructure if you leave Ankra.

### Where can my application run?

On Kubernetes in your cloud account or on your private servers. Import an existing cluster or provision a new one through Ankra. Start with one application and reuse stacks and profiles as you add environments.

### How does Ankra help when something breaks?

Ankra gives your agent live infrastructure context: logs, events, manifests and resource state. It can investigate a failed deployment or unhealthy service, explain the cause and propose a fix using the access your team grants.

### Is there a free tier?

Yes. You can try Ankra without a card in a small, limited trial; adding a payment method unlocks full access, the free platform tier and €59 of welcome credit. Your infrastructure provider bills its resources separately. See the pricing page for included usage and paid plans.

### Do I need a Kubernetes cluster before I start?

You can connect a cluster you already run, let Ankra provision supported infrastructure, or try a playground without connecting a cloud account. The platform guides the application and its services onto the target you choose.

### How do Ankra Platform and Ankra Cloud fit together?

Ankra Platform is the operating layer for applications and Kubernetes on infrastructure you choose. Ankra Cloud provides European cloud servers, storage and networking. You can use them together, or use Ankra Platform with your existing cloud or private servers.
