What Humanitec is

Humanitec is a platform orchestrator for coordinating application configuration and infrastructure in complex engineering environments. It dynamically generates both configurations with each deployment, while environment management helps standardize settings, manage progression, avoid drift, and create or pause environments. Developers can use secure templates to create environments, add workload resources, or roll back. Supported infrastructure includes Kubernetes, serverless, virtual machines, GCP, AWS, Azure, and private cloud. Built-in drivers cover MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, AWS Route53, and Cloudflare DNS, with portal integrations such as Backstage, Port, and Cortex. Humanitec lists hybrid deployment, GitOps, progressive delivery, Helm, and audit logs. Teams costs $1,979 a month billed annually; Pro costs $4,950 a month billed annually. Both offer free trials without a credit card. Self-hosted and Enterprise plans are custom priced.
