For almost 1 year now, we've been building on a next gen event-driven internal developer platform, an an opinionated selfhosted platform "shoehorn.dev" - deploy with ease within 15 min (docker compose or helmcharts). You could say its a modern backstage. But its way smarter in many ways. Kubernetes native, API first, microservice golang backend architecture. You will be able to configure the platform via our terraform provider too. Deploy our kubernetes-push-agent in your cluster, push kinds and auto creates entities into the API in batches, get podEvents etc. Modular frontend written in svelte, decide what you want to show. We're supporting oidc + orgdata sync for okta, zitadel, entraID. rbac management. Instant search using meillisearch. Auto create orgchart depending on how your teams / deparments are nested. Visualize dependencies "relations" using svelteflow. View entity compliance. Full github integration. widget/integration community etc.

Would love feedback!

https://demo.shoehorn.dev will be deployed soon and full release "beta" will be released in march.

We're building a modern self-hosted 'backstage' ish product but opinionated with fast setup, cli, modern event-driven architecture, instant search and built for kubernetes. Using golang backend microservices and svelte5 frontend. Its multitenant by design. : https://shoehorn.dev. Alpha will be released Q1 :)
