About Us

From resource creation to deployment, Monokle's got you covered

Our Journey

Monokle began like most good ideas do, when our founder, Ole, was struggling with Kubernetes.

The constant patchwork of tools one had to use made your eyes cross. And no one was loving YAML ...

So Ole rallied the team and embarked on Kubeshop's first open source tool development journey. Monokle simply loved YAML so no one else had to. And now there is also a cloud-based IDE for policy enforcement.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was just one tool – a “Manifest IDE” – that can help with the entire Kubernetes lifecycle in a well integrated and consistent way ... ?
