What it does

Portainer is one platform to deploy, run, secure, and govern Kubernetes across your whole fleet, from a single control plane. A platform is a product, not a project.

Portainer is a centralized multi-cluster management platform that does the job of the dozen CNCF projects you would otherwise choose, install, upgrade, and staff. Sixty tools, twelve platform decisions, twelve lifecycles to own: that is what assembling it yourself actually costs. This is the alternative for the engineers actually looking for one. You can assemble sixty open-source projects into a platform. Teams do it every day. They spend eighteen months on it, hire to keep it alive, and file the maintenance under "platform engineering." We think that was a decision most teams were talked into, not one they would make twice. Portainer is for the ones who already worked that out. If you…from portainer.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
