🚀 Introduction to Stacktic

Note
This guide does not represent the full set of capabilities or guidelines for each service.
Detailed information is generated directly within the application stack repository, which contains the complete, up-to-date reference.
The purpose of this guide is to explain key concepts and provide examples of our framework, automation, and solutions.
For comprehensive details on every feature and service, please refer to the stack documentation.

Stacktic is a new concept in full-stack management - a logic framework that understands and automates relationships across your entire technology stack.

❗ The Problem​

Current Reality​

Companies are trapped between bad options:

Option 1: Hyperscalers & Managed Services

  • Chosen due to lack of in-house skills
  • False sense of "insurance"
  • Long-term commitment contracts
  • Lock-in with no portability
  • Pay premium for a "promise" of faster time-to-market

Option 2: Open-Source Kubernetes Solutions

  • Requires highly skilled teams or big budgets
  • Massive operational burden
  • Complex versioning, observability, data pipelines
  • Security concerns add more complexity

Hard Decisions Companies Face Daily​

  • Private container-based LLaMA vs fast-moving AI services (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude)?
  • Stay with managed services or migrate to containers/Kubernetes?
  • How to transition from VMs or Cloud Foundry to pure modrern app Kubernetes?

The impact of each choice is not only about saving millions in infa or Ops,it’s about meeting future demands for privacy, ensuring flexibility, and maintaining the ability to adapt and change.​

The Root Cause​

Relationships​

It's all about relationships:

  • Between services and databases
  • Between microservices
  • Between data pipelines and applications
  • Between RBAC, metrics, and observability
  • These are stack relationships

💡 What Is Stacktic?​

Core: A Logic Framework​

Stacktic is fundamentally a logic framework that:

  • Integrates and understands relationships between all stack components
  • Automates these relationships - from application topology to ETL to Day-2 operations

The UI Layer​

On top of the logic framework, a modular platform engineering UI that enables:

  • Integration of anything (inside or outside Kubernetes)
  • Automation and connection of all components
  • Real version control for every element of the stack using metadata

Revolutionary: Stack Version Control​

Using metadata, Stacktic creates actual version control for your entire stack:

  • Migrate to new services or versions out-of-the-box
  • Duplicate stack versions for production, staging, QA, testing
  • Rollback an entire stack to a previous version
  • Redefine complexity as versioned, trackable changes

🌟 The Value​

Immediate Impact​

  • Day-0 planning: From months to hours
  • Deployment costs: 70%+ reduction
  • Ops overhead: Eliminated through automation (SRE, DataOps, SecOps)
  • Security: Automated, removing blockers
  • Engineers: Focus on customization and improvement, not configuration

Strategic Benefits​

  • Cloud-agnostic stacks: Single command deployment on any cloud
  • Infrastructure savings: 30-50% reduction
  • Data regulations: Full compliance support
  • Negotiation power: No vendor lock-in
  • Sovereignty: Private ownership and sovereignty principles fully supported

🌟 Vision​

Stacktic bridges the gap between:

  • Disadvantages of managed services (lock-in, cost, limited control)
  • Disadvantages of pure open-source (time-to-market, operational overhead)
  • Advantages of both approaches

By bypassing skill gaps and reducing operational complexity, Stacktic delivers fully stable, automated, cloud-agnostic, and sovereignty-compliant full stacks.

Our vision: A unified platform engineering solution that democratizes open source, boosts adoption, and removes vendor lock-in - providing full freedom to innovate, adapt, and keep pace with technology.
