Real environments for developers and their agents.
Okteto gives every developer and every coding agent a production-like environment on your own Kubernetes, so teams ship changes they have already verified. We have been building developer environments since 2018.
What we believe
Test against the real thing
Mocks and shared staging hide bugs. Every change deserves a production-like environment with real services and real data.
Platform teams stay in control
Developers and agents get self-service environments inside the guardrails, quotas and policies the platform team sets.
You own the infrastructure
Okteto runs on your Kubernetes, in your cloud account. You own the clusters and the data, and your code never leaves.
How we got here
Where it started
Open source first
Okteto began as an open source project to make developing on Kubernetes feel local. It now has more than 3,500 GitHub stars.
Where it grew
A platform for teams
Teams wanted more than a CLI, so we built a platform for development, preview and test environments.
Where it runs
In your own cloud
Okteto runs Self-Hosted on any Kubernetes cluster or as Bring Your Own Cloud, so it fits enterprise security reviews.
Where it's going
Built for coding agents
Coding agents now get the same environments developers do, so they verify their work before they open a pull request.
The team behind Okteto
Okteto is built by a fully remote team across the US and Europe. We have spent years building developer tools and running Kubernetes, and we work side by side with the platform teams who run Okteto every day.
Backed by Y Combinator, Root Ventures, Deviation Capital, Uncorrelated Ventures and Haystack.

What our customers say
"DevX has transformed our development process, becoming a cornerstone of our platform. It's now recognized as being a first-class construct inside the organization. This was not even considered before Okteto. Now it's the first thought."
"Okteto helps us simplify the process of onboarding new hires and helps them be up and running as soon as possible with the minimum of fuss. It also reduces the cognitive load on running ephemeral environments for all developers. Okteto helps our developers stay focused on what they do best - writing the code that powers LaunchDarkly."
