Cloud Development Environment Orchestrator
Local Speed. Global Consistency
Spin up secure and governed environments in seconds. Knot brings together cloud and local runtimes including Nomad, Docker, Podman and Apple Containers. Roles, groups and templates scale across regions so developers work close to home for low latency while teams everywhere share the same consistent workflows.

Effortless Setup & Scalability
Set up your developer environment once and reuse it anytime. Seamlessly scale with remote clusters for optimal performance near your team.

Complete Control, Anywhere
Self-hosted on your infrastructure with fine-grained access control. Manage containers, users, and environments from anywhere.

Cloud-Ready Development
Code directly in your browser with tools like Code Server or Visual Studio Code Tunnels, supported by built-in dev utilities.

Smart Team Collaboration
Organize users and templates into groups for tailored access, ensuring efficient and secure teamwork.

Decentralized Management
Leaderless cluster management eliminates single point of failure, ensuring greater reliability and resilience. By supporting remote clusters or servers located near your team, this approach minimizes latency, delivering faster and more responsive performance for users.
