Sealos is a cloud platform built on top of Kubernetes, the industry-standard system for running and scaling software in the cloud. The goal of Sealos is to take the power of Kubernetes and make it accessible without requiring deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, letting developers focus on building their applications rather than configuring servers. From a single platform, Sealos provides everything you need to go from writing code to running it in production. It includes cloud-based development environments (so you can write code in your browser using tools like VSCode or Cursor without setting up anything locally), managed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, all ready to use without configuration), an app store for deploying pre-built software with one click, and tools to deploy your own Docker containers. A Docker container is a self-contained package of an application that runs consistently anywhere. The platform is described as "AI-native," meaning it is designed to work well with AI applications, offering infrastructure that scales for AI workloads. It supports multi-tenant use, multiple teams or users can share the same platform with their resources kept isolated from each other using Kubernetes-native access controls. Sealos is primarily written in TypeScript and Go, and the codebase is open source, though the license is a custom "Sustainable Use License", you can use it internally for business, but you cannot offer Sealos itself as a cloud service to third parties. You would use Sealos if you want the power of a full cloud platform without the complexity of managing Kubernetes yourself.
