Usage

Here are common infrastructure stacks you can deploy with KibanOS. Each example shows the services involved and how they map to projects and environments.

Full-stack web app

A typical web application with a database, cache, and background jobs.

• PostgreSQL — primary database.
• Redis — caching, session storage, and job queues.
• Nginx — reverse proxy and static file serving.

Create a project called my-webapp, install the three services, and assign them to a development environment. When you are ready to go live, create a production environment with the same services. Each environment gets its own isolated network — nothing leaks between them.

E-commerce platform

An online store that needs search, sessions, and a database.

• PostgreSQL — product catalog, orders, users.
• Redis — cart, sessions, cache.
• Elasticsearch — full-text product search.

Deploy this stack across staging and production. Each environment is fully independent. Staging can use smaller resource limits while production runs at full capacity.

AI / ML application

An AI application that needs a vector database and a model runtime.

• PostgreSQL — user data and metadata.
• Redis — caching and rate limiting.
• Qdrant — vector database for embeddings.
• Ollama — local LLM inference.

Start with a development environment to experiment. When the model and prompts are ready, promote the same stack to production with a single environment creation.

Monitoring stack

Infrastructure monitoring and alerting for your services.

• Prometheus — metrics collection.
• Grafana — dashboards and visualization.
• Loki — log aggregation.

Install this stack in its own project. Point Prometheus at your other services to collect metrics. Grafana connects to both Prometheus and Loki out of the box.

CMS

A content management system with a database and media storage.

• WordPress or Strapi — CMS.
• PostgreSQL or MySQL — database.
• Redis — object cache.

WordPress works with MySQL. Strapi works with PostgreSQL. Pick the combination that fits your project and install everything from the catalog.

Development tools

A self-hosted development platform with version control and CI.

• Gitea — Git hosting.
• Drone — CI/CD pipeline.
• PostgreSQL — database for Gitea and Drone.

Run this in a development environment on a local or spare server. Your team gets a private GitHub-like setup without depending on external services.
