Platform Engineering
Build the platform your developers deserve
Standardize infrastructure provisioning, create golden paths for deployments, and enable developer self-service. Reduce ticket queues and let developers move fast.
Self-Service
Let developers provision what they need
Stop being a bottleneck for infrastructure requests. With Substrate, developers can provision environments, deploy workloads, and access cluster resources through a self-service dashboard governed by your policies.
- Project-based resource organization with clear ownership
- Self-service cluster access scoped by role and project
- One-click deployments from pre-approved templates
- Real-time deployment status without CLI access
- Cost visibility per project so teams own their spend

Golden Paths
Standardize without limiting
Create deployment templates that encode your best practices. Developers choose from pre-approved templates with variable substitution, so every deployment follows your standards while staying flexible enough for real-world use.
- Organization-wide templates with enforced defaults
- Project-scoped templates for team-specific needs
- Variable substitution for environment-specific values
- Pre-configured cluster settings and resource limits
- Version control for template evolution
Governance
Guard rails that protect without blocking
Enable developer self-service with confidence. Substrate provides the governance controls your security and finance teams need while keeping developers productive.
Permission Controls
Organization, project, and resource-level RBAC with custom roles. Give developers exactly the access they need, nothing more.
Audit Trails
Every action logged with actor, timestamp, and IP address. Compliance-ready audit trails that satisfy even the strictest security teams.
Resource Quotas
Set resource limits at the project and namespace level. Prevent runaway provisioning and keep infrastructure costs predictable.
Cost Boundaries
Per-project and per-team cost attribution with budget alerts. Finance and engineering finally speak the same language about cloud spend.
Developer Tools
Built-in tools developers love
Substrate includes a suite of free developer utilities that make working with Kubernetes easier. No signup required.
K8s YAML Validator
Validate Kubernetes manifests before deployment. Catch errors early and save hours of debugging in production.
JSON/YAML Converter
Convert between JSON and YAML formats instantly. Essential for working with Kubernetes configurations and Helm charts.
Resource Calculator
Calculate optimal CPU and memory requests based on workload characteristics. Take the guesswork out of resource planning.
Cron Expression Builder
Build and validate cron expressions visually. Perfect for configuring CronJobs and scheduled scaling actions.
Integrations
Fits into your existing toolchain
Substrate integrates with the tools your team already uses. No rip-and-replace required. Connect your Git providers, container registries, and logging infrastructure in minutes.
Git Providers
GitHub and GitLab OAuth integration for seamless repository connections. Support for self-hosted Git servers and webhook-triggered deployments.
Container Registries
Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, ACR, and private registry support. Authenticated image pulls with connection testing built in.
Log Sinks
Stream cluster logs to Elasticsearch, Splunk, CloudWatch, Google Cloud Logging, and Azure Monitor. Configurable per cluster.
