Remote Dev Environments

Move dev environments from localhost to Kubernetes, so your organization can streamline dev tooling and workflows.

Learn more
Code-Ready R&D Sandboxes

Create a set of pre-configured development sandboxes, so engineers can get a code-ready environment up and running in seconds.

Learn more
Pre-Commit Validation

Allow engineers to directly interact with Kubernetes, so they can test their code even before it hits your CI/CD systems or your code repositories.

Learn more
Ephemeral CI/CD & Test Environments

Spin up lightweight virtual Kubernetes clusters or isolated namespaces for CI/CD and testing and tear them down again in seconds.

Learn more
Instant Deployment Previews For QA

Create previews for every pull request or on-demand when they are needed for quality assurance or for end-to-end and acceptance testing.

Learn more
Performance/Load Testing Instances

Run performance and load tests for your application in a realistic Kubernetes-based environment that is as close to production as possible.

Learn more
1-Click Staging Environments

Spin up and clone staging environments whenever needed and prevent the hassle of having to replicate and mock services locally.

Learn more
Low-Overhead Cluster Operations & Scaling

Running workloads in isolated virtual clusters rather than directly on Kubernetes, uncouples your workloads and makes sure that your Kubernetes cluster stays clean and easy to manage at scale.

Secure Multi-Tenancy For Managed Software

Virtual Kubernetes clusters are the most cost-effective and secure solution for isolating your customers when you want to provide your software as a managed product in a multi-tenant Kubernetes cluster.

Learn more
Advanced Cluster Simulations

Use lightweight virtual Kubernetes clusters as a cost-efficient and fast way to simulate how changes to your production cluster would impact your production workloads.

Learn more
On-Demand Instances For Sales Demos

Create a set of templates for pre-defined demo environments that your sales teams can spin up with a single click, so they always have a clean demo ready when pitching your products to potential customers.

Learn more
Live Previews For Potential Customers

Define templates with sample data and instantiate them for potential customers, so they can get hands-on experience with your product to gain more confidence to buy your software faster.

Learn more
Instant Provisioning For New Customers

Reduce the time to give your customers access to an instance of your software by defining pre-configured templates of your product that can be spun up instantly after the customer signs on.

The Most Advanced Platform
For Kubernetes Self-Service and Multi-Tenancy

Most Kubernetes platforms let you spin up and manage Kubernetes clusters. Loft doesn't. Loft is an advanced control plane that runs on top of your existing Kubernetes clusters to add multi-tenancy and self-service capabilities to these clusters to get the full value out of Kubernetes beyond cluster management.

Self-Service Environment Provisioning
Cost Optimization On Auto-Pilot
Enterprise-Grade Access Control
Secure Kubernetes Multi-Tenancy

Operate Loft with the interface
that works best for your workflow.

Loft provides a powerful UI and CLI but under the hood, it is 100% Kubernetes, so you can control everything via kubectl and the Kubernetes API, which guarantees great integration with existing cloud-native tooling.
