Deliver your platform strategy*, not another tool
*an internal developer platform (IDP) that turns your platform engineering strategy into adoption you can measure, delivery you can see and compliance checked before the deploy. Self-hosted, air-gapped or sovereign cloud.
In production with
You funded it. Is anyone using it?
You approved the platform. Now answer three questions: How many teams use it? Is it under control? How fast do teams get what they need?
Cycloid answers all three from the platform itself, live, instead of from a spreadsheet someone compiles after the fact.
Most teams can’t answer them yet. Of 518 platform teams surveyed, 29.6% don’t measure their own success, and 47.4% run the platform on under $1M a year. DORA found 90% of organisations have adopted at least one platform. Owning one isn’t unusual. Proving it works is.

Customising, for engineering leaders
Shaped like your organisation.
No forks here.
Every in-house portal gets customised, and then the customisations need a team. A team of two platform engineers costs about $236,000 a year in salary alone. (EU avg, $118,028. State of Platform Engineering, Vol 3, 2024.)
Buying doesn’t remove decisions. Someone still sets golden paths and approval chains. In Cycloid that work is configuration your platform team owns, while we maintain the product underneath it – self-hosted, air-gapped or in a sovereign cloud.
For you: your teams work on golden paths, not upkeep. And your dashboards show your teams, from the same record everyone works with.
Your organisation, configured by you. Our product, maintained for you.

Under the hood
Never marry a platform you can't divorce
Every layer is documented and swappable, and the exit path is written down. What you build is stored in open formats: OpenTofu, GraphQL, JSON Schema and OpenFGA.
Self-hosted, air-gapped or sovereign, with access and audit settled before a resource exists.
Adoption analytics and dashboards show who uses the platform and what it runs.
Teams get environments through approved paths instead of a ticket queue.

Many jobs, one subscription
01
A customisable portal in your brand
Your logo and colours, with each team shaping its own pages on one engine. Platform teams keep the shared parts consistent, and there’s no forked portal to fund.
02
One catalogue for every team
Landing zones, infrastructure and applications in a single place. Discovery shows what already runs in your AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes accounts.
03
Self-service, not an open bar
Forms turns a Terraform or OpenTofu module into a web form, and policy checks every submission. A non-compliant resource is refused before it exists. Compliance stops being a quarterly project.
04
The same access rules for people and assistants
Predefined roles scoped to your org, with conditions and approvals on top. The same model covers an assistant as covers a person.
05
Delivery speed you can show
DORA metrics computed in the platform: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and time to restore, per team, from the deployments Cycloid already runs and records.
06
Adoption you can put on a slide
Composable dashboards show which teams use the platform, how often they deploy and what they run, from the same governed data.
Deployment
Run it where your data has to live
Works with the Terraform and OpenTofu, Ansible and Helm you already run, and with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or any CI through a webhook.
