Dacreo apto is Europe's first Kubernetes-compatible spacestack. One git push from ground to orbit.

Kubernetes In Space

Kubernetes is the standard for managing containerised applications on Earth. Dacreo apto brings that same orchestration layer to orbit, hardened for the space environment. Radiation upsets, intermittent connectivity, constrained resources, and no physical access are built into the platform assumptions, not afterthoughts.

Standard Workflows in Space

Apto brings a space-adapted k3s environment that allows developers to use the same workflows as on Earth. There is no need for specialised space engineering expertise to build and deploy applications.

This lowers the barrier to entry and expands the pool of engineers who can develop for space systems

Space Kubernetes Manager

Apto 0.1 /

Dacreo apto is built on k3s, extended with a space-manager API for execution monitoring, fault detection, and autonomous recovery. It detects both explicit failures and silent computation errors caused by radiation effects, and takes corrective action autonomously between contact windows.

k3s-aligned

Apto 0.2 /

Standard Helm and Kustomize workflows work unchanged. CI/CD pipelines on the ground push directly to clusters in orbit. Atomic A/B updates carry X.509 cryptographic signatures and validate before activation. Rollback is automatic and guaranteed if validation fails.

CCSDS-to-S3 and resilient data handling

Apto 0.3 /

An optional microservice translates CCSDS Space Packet Protocol into S3-compatible storage interfaces, making spacecraft data endpoints addressable by standard cloud tooling. Synchronisation across interrupted links is handled transparently. No special ground-side adaptations required.
