Production-Ready Kubernetes Apps

Deploy production ready application templates to your Kubernetes cluster in minutes. Edka stores each app template in the backend catalog with its metadata, configuration form, required add-ons, endpoints, and Kubernetes manifests.

Edka also includes dedicated workspaces for Databases and Agents. Use Apps for packaged services and app-like stacks. Use Databases when you need database-specific lifecycle, logs, insights, restore, or engine-aware settings. Use Agents for AI runtime health, profiles, webhooks, backups, and device approval.

  • n8n: workflow automation platform with queue workers, task runners, Prometheus metrics, and native AI capabilities.
  • Metabase: business intelligence dashboards backed by PostgreSQL.
  • Plausible Analytics: privacy friendly web analytics backed by PostgreSQL and ClickHouse.
  • Umami: privacy-focused web analytics backed by PostgreSQL.
  • Elasticsearch: distributed search and analytics engine with Kibana.
  • Meilisearch: typo tolerant application search API.
  • OpenSearch: distributed search and analytics engine with OpenSearch Dashboards.
  • Typesense: open source search engine with HTTP API access.
  • kube-prometheus-stack: Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, node metrics, and Kubernetes observability primitives.
  • Langfuse: LLM tracing, prompt management, evaluations, and datasets backed by PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Valkey, and S3-compatible object storage.
  • VictoriaMetrics: single-node metrics store with persistent storage and Prometheus-compatible reads.
  • VictoriaLogs: single-node log store with a Kubernetes collector and LogsQL queries.
  • Excalidraw: self hosted whiteboard and diagramming web client.
  • Strapi: open source headless CMS backed by PostgreSQL.

The backend catalog still contains deprecated PostgreSQL, Postgres Restore, and Redis Stack app templates for compatibility with older app workflows. New database deployments should use the Databases workspace instead:

  • PostgreSQL and Postgres Restore map to the dedicated PostgreSQL engine.
  • Redis Stack is deprecated in favor of Valkey in Databases.

Internal and organization-scoped templates

Section titled “Internal and organization-scoped templates”

Some app templates can be scoped to a specific organization. For example, Jenny is an internal enterprise template and is only visible to the target organization. Organization-scoped templates may not appear in every Edka account even when they exist in the backend repository.

For catalog apps, Edka handles:

  • rendering the app-specific configuration form
  • installing required add-ons before the app when needed
  • applying the rendered Kubernetes manifests
  • showing configured endpoints after deployment
  • tracking runtime status, logs, metrics, and app-specific update options where the template supports them

Some apps have no add-on dependencies. Others queue supporting add-ons during installation. Current examples include:

  • metrics-server for metrics-enabled apps such as n8n, Meilisearch, and Plausible
  • existing PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Valkey, and S3-compatible object storage for Langfuse
  • cert-manager, letsencrypt-issuer, and node-exporter for kube-prometheus-stack
  • cert-manager and eck-operator for Elasticsearch
  • cert-manager and opensearch-operator for OpenSearch
