Introduction

Dosei is a Local-First Kubernetes Successor for Developer. An open source project under the AGPL-3.0 license.

After that bold claim, before diving deeper, I want to note that Dosei is a passion project started by Alvaro Molina (that's me!) It's something I work on in my free time. Please don't forget this when interacting with the project. I'm doing my best to make something great along with hopefully some lovely contributors in the future, but it's not a full-time job for me.

What is Dosei?

Dosei is a container orchestration platform built around several key principles that set it apart from other solutions:

  • Local-First Architecture - Dosei prioritizes the local development experience by providing developers with comprehensive programming language capabilities to manage infrastructure. This means you can run 100% offline while maintaining full compatibility—your local setup works seamlessly when deployed to remote clusters.

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Core - IaC isn't an afterthought but a fundamental design principle, ensuring all infrastructure is defined, versioned, and managed through code.

  • Language Agnostic - Dosei provides SDKs in different programming languages. Currently, it only supports JavaScript, but it doesn't lock you into a custom IaC language.

  • GitOps-First Approach - All changes flow through Git workflows, providing clear audit trails and collaborative change management.

  • Read-Only Dashboard - Unlike other PaaS or cloud providers, Dosei's dashboard is intentionally read-only. All modifications must be made through code, enforcing consistency and preventing configuration drift.

This approach ensures that your infrastructure remains predictable, auditable, and aligned with modern DevOps best practices.
