Making infrastructure visible.
From foundations to the stars.

Lithastra builds open-source tools for modern platforms — today across Kubernetes and operational data, next across the AI/LLM infrastructure running on top — so dependencies, runtime behavior, risk, and cost stay visible.

Open-source projects

Two tools. One idea: see the whole system.

Every outage and every audit finding has the same root cause — somebody couldn't see a connection that was there all along. These tools draw the map. The next frontier is AI/LLM infrastructure: model gateways, inference services, GPU workloads, agents, and data paths that need the same operational visibility.

KubeAtlas

Kubernetes resource dependency graph tool. Sees what kubectl can't.

KubeAtlas builds a directed dependency graph of every resource in your cluster — Deployments, ConfigMaps, Services, Ingresses, RBAC, CRDs — and lets you query it:

  • "If I delete this Secret, what breaks?" — blast-radius analysis
  • Admission-policy visibility — Gatekeeper & Kyverno rules as graph edges with live violation status
  • Runtime overlay — correlate OpenTelemetry traces into observed service-to-service edges, compared against your declared graph (opt-in)
  • Offline diagnostic report (HTML or JSON) for air-gapped audits and CI
  • Multi-cluster federation with per-token RBAC visibility, time-axis diffs, and a cartography-style web UI
  • Plugins for kubectl, Headlamp, and Backstage (now GA), plus a GitHub Action
  • No surprise phone-home — anonymous telemetry is opt-in and off by default

AtlasLens

One pane of glass for Atlassian Cloud audit & activity data.

AtlasLens is a self-hosted, admin-only dashboard that continuously pulls audit and activity data from Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and JSM into one store:

  • Cross-product user timelines for forensic investigation
  • Productivity trends, contributor rankings, and work-item views
  • CSV/PDF compliance exports with SHA-256 integrity stamps
  • Field-level encryption, 1-year retention, fully self-hosted

About

Why "Lithastra"?

Lith — from lithos, stone: the bedrock infrastructure everything stands on. Astra — stars: the ambition to make the whole system navigable, like a sky chart. Lithastra maintains and optimizes open-source tooling for Infrastructure-as-Code, Kubernetes, platform observability, and AI/LLM infrastructure. That next layer includes model serving, inference gateways, GPU scheduling, agent runtimes, vector data, and the dependencies between them. Everything ships under Apache 2.0 and runs on your own infrastructure.

Built and maintained in the open

If KubeAtlas or AtlasLens is useful to you or your team, sponsorship directly funds the next milestone — including open tooling for AI/LLM infrastructure.
