Welcome to OpenEverest
OpenEverest is an open-source platform for running data workloads on Kubernetes. It gives you one UI, one API and one access-control model for provisioning and operating databases, caches, vector stores, object storage, AI model serving and other stateful technologies — on any Kubernetes cluster, in the cloud or on-premises.
These docs describe OpenEverest 2, which is a Developer Preview: it is not feature-complete and not intended for production. OpenEverest 1.x remains the supported release — see the 1.x documentation.
How it works
OpenEverest has a small, technology-agnostic core. Everything that is specific to a technology lives in a Provider that you install next to the core:
- The core gives you the web UI, the REST API, authentication, role-based access control, backups and monitoring as common building blocks.
- Each Provider teaches OpenEverest how to run one technology, usually by driving a Kubernetes Operator. The Plugin Hub lists the available providers, and anyone can build a new one.
- Generic plugins add features that are not tied to one technology, such as metrics dashboards or benchmarking tools.
You pick the providers you need. Every running deployment — whatever the technology — is an Instance that you create, scale, back up, restore and delete in the same way.
