Space Cloud

Instant Realtime APIs for Serverless Apps

Visit Space Cloud

Space Cloud is an open-source, Kubernetes-based serverless platform that provides instant GraphQL APIs for databases and microservices, along with built-in security. It aims to let developers focus on business logic while handling infrastructure concerns, and to bring application developers and operations teams together for quicker release cycles.

Key capabilities include cross-database joins via GraphQL, a GraphQL wrapper for functions over REST APIs, native storage support for local storage and S3, and a built-in pub-sub system for asynchronous events. For deployment, it offers one-click deployment of microservices in any language, integration with Istio for service mesh (secure, control, and observe microservices), abstraction of Kubernetes and Istio configurations, and auto-scaling of less-used services to zero. Security is configured through rules rather than embedded in code, with a single ingress point for incoming traffic, authorization rule validation at the HTTP (L7) layer, and mTLS policies for service-to-service communication.

Space Cloud is aimed at developers and operations teams building cloud applications with databases and microservices. It is offered as open source, with documentation, tutorials, sample apps, and an academy available as resources.
