Komodor Embeds Full Stack Kubernetes Management Capabilities Within Internal Developer Platforms to Accelerate Software Delivery

Integrations with Backstage and Port empower developers to troubleshoot and optimize K8s workloads within existing workflows

TEL AVIV, Israel & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Komodor, the company that automates Kubernetes operations, health, performance, and cost management, today announced the integration of the Komodor platform with Internal Developer Portals (IDPs), starting with built-in support for Backstage and Port. This new capability provides a single pane of glass directly within existing tools that allows developers to handle their applications on Kubernetes on a self-service basis.

With this launch, Komodor brings native day-2 Kubernetes operations management—monitoring, troubleshooting, performance optimization and cost management—directly into the developer workflow. This enables developers to gain a guided, intuitive interface to understand their workloads and take action without needing deep Kubernetes expertise. It also allows platform teams to deliver a turnkey Kubernetes experience within Backstage and Port that drives greater developer independence and improves service availability.

“Internal developer platforms have emerged to simplify software delivery, but Kubernetes remains a bottleneck that is complex, opaque, and disconnected from the developer experience,” said Itiel Shwartz, Co-Founder and CTO of Komodor. “By embedding Komodor into Backstage and Port, we’re giving developers a secure and easy way to see, understand, and fix issues in their services, right from the portal. It’s the missing piece that makes IDPs truly self-service for addressing K8s issues.”

Addressing Kubernetes Gap in IDPs

Most IDPs unify tools like CI/CD, templates, and security policies—but fail to offer meaningful visibility or control over Kubernetes environments. Developers are often forced to escalate issues to platform or site reliability engineering (SRE) teams, while Kubernetes operations remain decoupled from the IDP experience.

Komodor fills this void by acting as a Kubernetes abstraction layer for IDPs. It integrates seamlessly with Backstage and Port to surface relevant insights—such as health status, configuration drift, cost anomalies, and service dependencies—within the developer portal. When issues arise, developers can use Komodor’s AI-powered assistant Klaudia to troubleshoot and remediate problems quickly, without switching context.

Enhanced Capabilities for Backstage and Port Users

• Kubernetes Workload Tiles: View real-time status of deployed services directly inside the portal
• Guided Troubleshooting: Receive step-by-step instructions to resolve issues with help from Komodor’s AI agent, Klaudia
• Reliability and Cost Optimization: Monitor performance, enforce best practices, and reduce overprovisioning across environments
• Role-Based Access: Provide developers with the exact level of Kubernetes access they need—no more, no less
• Fleet Management for Platform Teams: Enable teams to oversee multi-cluster environments from a central workspace

“Our mission is to unify all the teams and processes that need to come together to deliver software,” said Jim Armstrong, Head of Product Marketing at Port. “By adding native Kubernetes management intelligence and automation to Port, Komodor reduces friction for developers and enables scalable, secure Kubernetes operations for customers.”
