All of the products and features available in the LH Cloud distribution of the LH Platform are available on LHK:

  • Enterprise-ready Apache Kafka without the hassle.
  • A User Tasks plugin that can integrate your own identity provider with your LittleHorse Workflows.

LHK subscriptions come with:

  • An enterprise-grade and battle-tested Kubernetes Operator that allows you to manage the entire LittleHorse Platform in your own Kubernetes environment without hassle.

  • Local hard-disk storage for both Kafka and the LittleHorse Servers.
  • [Optional] TLS and mTLS for network encryption and/or authentication.

Security​

LHK is capable of meeting even the most stringent enterprise security requirements:

  • All of your data stays within your own Kubernetes environment.
  • LHK integrates with Cert Manager to encrypt traffic for external clients, internal clients, and between the components of the LH Platform.
  • LHK integrates with your custom OIDC providers.
  • If necessary, components of the LH Platform can be deployed with no external network access for maximum security.
