Stack Sovereignty Across Cloud and Air-Gapped

Overview​

Stacktic is a platform designed to create and support sovereignty and cloud-agnostic solutions, including fully automated deployments in air-gapped environments.

Key Features​

🛡️ Sovereignty​

Stacktic delivers true stack-level sovereignty through:

  • 100% Open Source: Fully transparent, stable solution with complete visibility
  • Dependency Awareness: Full understanding of packages, dependencies, and code
  • SBOM Automation: Automated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation in XML format
  • Complete Customization: Modify any part of the stack solution to meet your specific needs

🌐 Cloud-Agnostic Architecture​

Stacktic provides stable OSS automation of full-stack applications that can be deployed on any Kubernetes cluster across any cloud provider. This translates to:

  • Cost Optimization: Move your applications to the most cost-effective cloud provider with just 2 clicks
  • Vendor Lock-in Prevention: Break free from cloud vendor lock-in with true flexibility to move environments
  • Platform Independence: Deploy anywhere - public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises

how does it works ?​

change domain name

apply stack

 kubectl apply -k k8s/deploy/overlays/dev --server-side=true --force-conflicts=true

tips: duplicate the stack and create dedicated stack on the repo with diffrent branches

🔒 Air-Gapped Environment Support​

Transform production applications with complex data pipelines from managed services to air-gapped environments with ease:

  • Self-Contained Architecture: All data elements, messaging, and code reside within the Kubernetes cluster - no external dependencies
  • Automated Migration: Our migrate.sh script handles pulling and pushing of all images in the stack
  • Image Management: Automatic updating of new/old images in each kustomization.yaml file
  • Zero Manual Intervention: Complete automation from start to finish

How It Works​

  1. Stack Awareness: Stacktic maintains complete awareness of your entire application stack
  2. Metadata Migration: Automated metadata migration handles all container images
  3. Deployment Automation: Deploy to any Kubernetes cluster with minimal configuration
  4. Environment Portability: Move between clouds, on-premises, or air-gapped environments seamlessly
