[!NOTE] Kyma has successfully undergone its transformation, achieving modularity. The global Kyma releases are discontinued. Now, each Kyma module provides functionality developed and delivered independently of the other ones. To benefit from the functionalities, subscribe to individual Kyma module repositories. You can add and delete modules without installing the monolithic Kyma. For more details, please refer to Kyma Modules.

Overview

Kyma /kee-ma/ Kyma is an opinionated set of Kubernetes-based modular building blocks, including all necessary capabilities to develop and run enterprise-grade cloud-native applications. It is the open path to the SAP ecosystem supporting business scenarios end-to-end.

Kyma is an actively maintained open-source project supported by SAP. The Kyma project is also a foundation of SAP BTP, Kyma runtime which is a part of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). You can use Kyma modules in your own Kubernetes cluster, or try the managed version from SAP BTP with a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster powered by Gardener.

Kyma modules offer various functionalities, such as:

• Serverless development platform to run lightweight Functions in a cost-efficient and scalable way
• System connectivity that provides an endpoint to securely register Events and APIs of external applications
• Istio for service-to-service communication and proxying
• Service Management to use the built-in cloud services from such cloud providers as GCP, Azure, and AWS
• Secure API exposure
• Collection and shipment of telemetry data to observability backends using the Telemetry module
• CLI supported by the intuitive UI through which you can connect your application to a Kubernetes cluster
