Internal Developer Platform
OpenChoreo is an open-source internal developer platform (IDP) designed for both platform engineers and developers.
- For platform engineers, Choreo offers a customizable yet fully-featured platform that integrates CI/CD, security, and cloud tools, enforcing best practices while reducing operational overhead.
- For developers, it abstracts away infrastructure complexities, enabling them to focus on building and deploying applications with minimal friction.
Most organizations face a dilemma when adopting an IDP:
- Build their own by integrating multiple tools—offering control but requiring significant engineering effort and maintenance.
- Buy a SaaS-based IDP, which simplifies adoption but often limits customization and flexibility.
OpenChoreo provides a third path—a self-hosted, open-source IDP that delivers production-grade capabilities out of the box without sacrificing control or flexibility.
OpenChoreo is inspired by WSO2 Choreo SaaS, an enterprise-grade internal developer platform that has been adopted by organizations to streamline software delivery and engineering.
WSO2 Choreo SaaS provides a complete IDP experience, combining:
- Software Delivery – Seamless workflows to build, deploy, run, and manage applications at scale.
- Software Engineering – Advanced capabilities for API management, modularity, service reuse, and observability.
With OpenChoreo, we are bringing these capabilities to the open-source community—allowing organizations to run, extend, and customize an internal developer platform on their own infrastructure, while WSO2 Choreo SaaS remains a fully managed alternative.
The easiest way to try OpenChoreo is by following the Quick Start Guide. It walks you through setting up Choreo using a Dev Container, so you can start experimenting without affecting your local environment.
