Open Kubernetes Data Platform
A free, open-source and cloud-native data platform built on Kubernetes. Modular, sovereign, and community-driven.
What is OKDP?
OKDP (Open Kubernetes Data Platform) is a comprehensive data management services platform composed of containerized open source software and products, running on Kubernetes infrastructure.
OKDP addresses the complete data lifecycle: collection, storage, processing, analysis, and data exposition. It's modular by design—deploy all components or select only what you need.
Why OKDP?
Data Centric
Comprehensive platform covering the entire data lifecycle with built-in governance, facilitating data sharing and minimizing duplication.
Cloud Native
Kubernetes-native platform designed for modern cloud environments with high availability, scalability, and multi-cloud support.
True Open Source
100% open source with Apache V2 license. Complete control of the technology lifecycle from build to deployment, with no vendor lock-in.
Sovereignty & Cost Control
Maintain full autonomy over your data infrastructure while eliminating licensing costs. Free to use, modify, and deploy at any scale.
Modular & Future-Proof
Flexible architecture adapts to your needs. Built on Kubernetes to prevent technical debt, ensuring sustainability and continuous modernization.
Community-Driven
Built by the community, for the community. Open collaboration from public and private organizations with a growing ecosystem.
Modular Architecture
OKDP offers a modular architecture that allows you to select and deploy only the components you need for your specific use case.
Query Engine
High-performance SQL query engines for distributed data.
Visualization & Database
Built on Kubernetes
Running on any Kubernetes distribution (RKE, EKS, AKS, GKE) with comprehensive security, observability, and resource management.
Each component can be deployed independently, allowing you to build a customized data platform that meets your specific needs.
