Kindling Docs

Kindling is a self-hosted PaaS built around declarative reconcilers and best-available isolation on your hardware.
  • Linux with KVM uses Cloud Hypervisor microVMs.
  • Linux without KVM falls back to crun.
  • macOS development uses Apple Virtualization.
  • The deploy pipeline stays the same across runtimes.

Current Product Shape

Kindling is pre-1.0, but the core deploy pipeline is real and working: build, boot, route, and serve. Docs in this site are written against the current repo and product behavior. Where something is still in progress, the page calls that out instead of treating roadmap work as shipped.
