Harbor Pilot is an app we built with Apex Designer to help developers:

  1. Run and manage apps in Kubernetes with minimal Kubernetes knowledge
  2. Easily provision and manage application dependencies (databases, utilities, etc.)
  3. Do 1 and 2 first and then learn Kubernetes as time and motivation permit

Apps, Environments and Deployments

Harbor Pilot displays apps in a simple grid presentation with a row for each application instance, a column for each environment and the deployments in the cells:

Visualize App Dependencies

Harbor Pilot includes a graphical dependency view that allows you to visualize how apps relate to each other.
