Self-hosted · Single command · No SaaS lock-in

One DevOps platform.
One command.

install.sh
curl -sSL https://starling-ex.frakma.io/install.sh | bash

What you get in one install

Dex SSO

Federate Google Workspace, GitHub, GitLab, or any OIDC IdP. Map groups to RBAC. No bespoke per-tool basic-auth.

Function CRDs

StarlingFunction custom resources. Declarative serverless on your cluster — git-ops friendly.

Audit log

Every tool call recorded: who, when, what, latency, outcome. Firestore-backed for query & export.

Slack & PagerDuty

Alert policies route to Slack channels and PagerDuty services. Templates included for the obvious ones.

Helm-aware ops

list_helm_releases, describe_helm_release, helm_release_history — exposed as MCP tools your AI agent can call.

Per-key rate limits

Bound cost-of-abuse on leaked tokens. Redis-backed, configurable per scope.

Install

One command. Works on any conformant Kubernetes 1.27+ cluster.

  1. 1. Pick a cluster

    kubectl
    kubectl config use-context my-cluster
  2. 2. Run the installer

    install.sh
    curl -sSL https://starling-ex.frakma.io/install.sh | bash

    The script verifies kubectl + helm are present, asks for your license key (or runs in free mode), then installs the chart into the starling-ex namespace.

  3. 3. Sign in

    browser
    open https://starling-ex.your-cluster.example/

    Dex prompts for your IdP (configurable via values.yaml). Default is Google Workspace.

Prefer Helm directly? helm install starling-ex oci://ghcr.io/warble-platform/charts/starling-ex --version 0.4.1 -n starling-ex --create-namespace

Simple pricing
