Compare Cycloid to Humanitec

Humanitec is a Platform Orchestrator that lets engineering teams remove bottlenecks by enabling them to build code-based golden paths for developers. It is centralized around K8S, even if there is the possibility to interact with other third party services.

Cycloid’s integrated approach

In contrast to Humanitec which comes from developers, Cycloid was built with the Ops/DevOps and Hybrid Cloud in mind and has a strong GitOps and Open Source approach. In addition to being a self-service portal, Cycloid has more commercial benefits with interconnectivity between features such as governance, control, management of the operations, FinOps and GreenOps.

Why Cycloid?

Cycloid is an engineering platform designed to improve the developer experience and operational efficiency to facilitate change management and accelerate hybrid cloud and DevOps adoption at scale. Your platform engineering team will design, build and maintain Cycloid as an internal developer platform to allow any end-users to interact with tools and cloud without the need to become an expert. You create your own platform to define the governance and the level of flexibility wanted. It’s based on your Git and is tool and cloud provider-agnostic.
