On-demand Kubernetes environments for every developer, coding agent and pull request.
Build, deploy and test your applications from a single definition, so every environment is reproducible and free of configuration drift.
The world’s leading companies ship tested changes with Okteto
One manifest, every environment.
Developers, coding agents and test pipelines create application environments on Kubernetes from the same definition. No more "works on my machine", and no more test pipeline failures you can't reproduce.
Explore application environments
Coding agents on your infrastructure
Run Claude Code, Codex or your own agents with Okteto's built-in agent orchestrator. They run in your Kubernetes cluster, inside your network. The agent sandbox calls Okteto to deploy and test your application remotely, so the agent sandbox stays light and secure.

A URL for every change
Every pull request gets a preview environment with its own URL. It is your application running on Kubernetes, not a simplified version or a mock. Developers, QA and product managers open it without setting anything up locally, and you can share the same URL with customers to get feedback on a prototype.
Why platform teams choose Okteto
Building it yourself starts with laptops and a few scripts, but it doesn't scale. Okteto gives you the complete workflow without the plumbing.
Build it yourself
One definition for development, tests and agents, so every bug is reproducible
A different environment on every laptop, pipeline and agent, and errors that don't reproduce
A light and secure agent sandbox, the same for every application
Every agent sandbox has different dependencies and deploys the full application stack with privileged access to Docker
Credentials managed centrally and injected only at deploy and test time
Agents and scripts run with whatever credentials the user has locally
Idle environments go to sleep and unused ones are deleted, including cloud resources like buckets and databases
Orphaned environments and cloud resources keep running and keep costing money
Hundreds of concurrent environments in one cluster, deploying only the services that change
Scripts and clusters that break as environments multiply
What our customers say
Read our reviews on G2Great for shift-left testing and quickie demo environments
Okteto provides a very comprehensive solution for managing our Docker containers used in pre-merge testing, with extensive environment visibility and management as well as user access controls. It provides a modern, smooth, easy-to-use interface. Beyond the tool is the fantastic, personalized support and engagement from the Okteto team.
Preview Environments are a breeze with Okteto
We had an internal development team maintaining our preview environments that we spin up for automated tests in CI. The previews never worked exactly the way we wanted and the took our engineers away from what they needed to be focused on: our product! We switched over Okteto Enterprise and couldn't be happier. We use Okteto to automaticall spin up the environments using their GitHub Action whenever pull requests are created. The automated tests run against the environments in the cloud and are torn down the the testing process completes. If we need to make an environment stay active longer, we add a custom label to the PR and the environment will stay active until the PR is closed. The whole process is great and we never have to worry about it. It just works.
Okteto is awesome!
We use Okteto daily and it drastically shortened our cycles, everyone from QA engineers to business steakholders are now in the loop on all the changes and can approve them or provide feedback before it hits our staging environment.
Growth enabler
Katana has evolved beyond the limitations of traditional local development environments, where the entire ecosystem was once hosted on a single PC or localhost setup. Today, engineers can spin up specific environments tailored to the areas of the product they need to work on, significantly improving development efficiency and reducing resource overhead. Our partnership with Okteto has been key in this transformation. The collaboration with Okteto has been seamless, with their team consistently going above and beyond to provide guidance and support. Their proactive approach and dedication to customer success has been noticeable.
Streamlines development process
The best thing about Okteto is how it streamlines our development process for cloud-native applications by providing a fully automated development environment in Kubernetes. Okteto allows our developers to spin up replicas of their production environments quickly, so they can test and iterate code directly in a Kubernetes environment without managing infrastructure. This means our devs move fast and save multiple hours per days with removed manual tasks associated with managing environments.
Excellent tool simplify development for complex Kubernetes apps
It just improves the developer experience tremendously. It requires a bit of effort to setup depending on your specific usecase but after that it saves the developers a lot of frustration and time. It means that when you onboard a developer, he basically only needs to install a cli tool and run 2 commands and he/she will have full access to a fully configured dev environment that also closely mirrors production. The developer will not have to spend any time on configuring architecture or secrets, benefitting security as well.
