SEE it in action

Kill ticket ops. Get your life back.

Humanitec lets you enable true developer self-service, safely and at enterprise scale. No more ticket ops. Design clear golden paths and let the Platform Orchestrator enforce the automatically, following an RBAC model.
See it in the demo below
See a short demo in the video below:
Each wave is fully controlled. You see progress clearly, validate behavior using your existing observability tools, and stop or roll back instantly if something looks off. Blast radius stays small. Production stays safe. And platform teams ship infra updates without fear of widespread outages.

Know exactly what you’re rolling back

The Orchestrator shows a precise diff of what will update, letting you roll back with full confidence.

No more guessing who’s affected

When an incident hits, the Platform Orchestrator maps the issue across your infrastructure instantly. See which environments are at risk and which teams need to act.

HOW IT WORKS

See drift. Understand it. Fix it.

Catch drift where you already monitor your systems

The Orchestrator surfaces drift into your existing
observability stack, so teams see issues
immediately.

Know exactly what’s affected

The Orchestrator shows which workload and
environment are out of alignment

See precisely what changed

Drill into the resource graph to identify the exact
node and configuration causing the drift, so teams
can resolve the issue fast and confidently.

Today

Drift goes unnoticed until it breaks something. A service misbehaves, a policy stops applying, or an audit reveals that production no longer matches its declared config. Teams scramble to figure out what changed, when it changed, and how to get back to a compliant state. The investigation takes longer than the fix while damage is being incurred.

vs

with Humanitec

Drift is caught right after it happens. Teams get an alert and restore the approved configuration with a single redeploy. No surprises, no compliance gaps, no late-night debugging. Environments stay secure and aligned by default.

Today

A deployment breaks. Alerts fire. Developers ping platform engineers on Slack and create tickets. Someone digs through past deployments, figures out which version was stable, reverts the application, then manually aligns infrastructure to match. It is slow, stressful, and different every time.

vs

with Humanitec

A deployment breaks. The developer opens the Humanitec Platform Orchestrator and identifies the last known good deployment. With a single click on “Rollback”, the Orchestrator restores both the app and its infrastructure to that stable version in a single operation. No painful aligning of app components. Incidents are resolved in minutes, not hours.

Today

A bad module or configuration is discovered. No one knows how many environments it touches. Teams check repos manually, trace module versions by hand, or ping each other on Slack to piece together where the risk is. Hours are lost hunting for answers before any fix can even begin. Meanwhile, production might be exposed.

vs

with Humanitec

The moment a problem is identified, the Platform Orchestrator shows exactly which workloads and environments depend on the faulty version. Teams see the full blast radius instantly and can roll out fixes or forced updates with confidence. No investigation. No uncertainty. Just a controlled, transparent path to remediation.

Today

Infra updates go out all at once or rely on manual coordination. Teams hope nothing breaks. If something does, it’s unclear how far the damage spreads, and rolling back is slow and stressful.

vs

with Humanitec

Updates roll out in controlled waves. Start small, validate, then promote. You see exactly where the new version is live, stop anytime, and roll back an environment instantly without affecting the rest.

See how Convera enabled developer self-service with Humanitec

Before building their IDP with Humanitec, developers at Convera were highly dependent on ops. They had to wait days for support for every single deployment.


Now developers can deploy on their own in a reliable way, as shown by a very low change failure rate of less than 5%.

Developer productivity is through the roof, time to market has improved by 30%.

Humanitec has helped us accelerate our modernization journey. Thanks to the Platform Orchestrator our developers can self-serve everything they need to be productive. Humanitec allowed us to streamline our operations without compromising on quality or security.
