Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Okteto vs Atmosly.

What makes Atmosly different from Okteto?

Okteto focuses on dev environments only—your dev work doesn't easily go to production. Atmosly provides environment cloning PLUS full dev-to-prod pipeline with CI/CD, GitOps, cost optimization, and security. Same platform from dev to prod.

Does Atmosly support dev environments?

Yes. Environment Cloning provides instant K8s replication for dev, staging, and testing. Clone entire environments with configs, secrets, and pipelines—then deploy to production on the same platform.

Can I go from dev to production?

Yes. Unlike Okteto which is dev-focused, Atmosly provides the complete journey—dev environments, CI/CD pipelines, staging, and production deployment with GitOps, blue/green deployments, and rollbacks.

How do preview environments work?

Atmosly creates preview environments for PRs with unique URLs, integrated with CI/CD. Preview includes full infrastructure—databases, caches, services all cloned, not just the application.

Does Atmosly have cost optimization?

Yes. AI-powered cost optimization with auto-shutdown of idle environments, right-sizing, and cost allocation per team/project. Okteto doesn't provide cost management features.

Can I migrate from Okteto?

Yes. Atmosly connects to existing K8s clusters and can import environment configurations. Migration takes 1-2 days. You gain production deployment capabilities you didn't have with Okteto.

How does pricing compare?

Okteto charges per developer seat for dev environments. Atmosly uses per-cluster pricing including dev, staging, AND production. When you need separate production tools, Atmosly offers better total value.

Does Atmosly support remote development?

Atmosly focuses on environment cloning rather than remote IDE sync. You get one-click environment replication, web-based kubectl terminal, and AI debugging—different but powerful development workflow.
