By Highlights:
- Klutch is fully implemented and used internally at anynines
- Supports Kubernetes operators, open service broker APIs, and data services
- Actively seeking startups for real-world proof-of-concepts
- AWS services like S3 and RDS now being integrated
- Self-demo experience available at Klutch.io
As service automation becomes a critical component of modern DevOps workflows, many teams are exploring platforms that abstract complexity while remaining open and flexible. One such platform is Klutch—a project from anynines that’s quietly gaining traction.
In a conversation with TFiR, anynines CEO Julian Fischer confirmed that Klutch is not just a concept—it’s a working platform already being used internally.

“Klutch is fully implemented in the sense that you can expose services through it,” Fischer said. “We’ve integrated the Open Service Broker API, AI data services, and Kubernetes operators—like our Postgres operator.”
But while Klutch is working behind the scenes, Fischer is transparent about the platform’s current stage: it’s production-capable, but still early in its adoption journey. The company is currently onboarding startup clients for proof-of-concept deployments, helping them test and scale Klutch in live environments.
The roadmap is also expanding. Fischer revealed that integrations with AWS services—specifically S3 and RDS—are already underway. These additions make Klutch more viable for teams looking to run serious workloads across hybrid infrastructure.
“We’re open to writing more automation backends and integrating services from other cloud providers as well,” he added.
To make experimentation easier, Klutch offers a self-demo environment accessible via Klutch.io, using local Kubernetes clusters like Minikube or Kind. This gives developers hands-on experience without needing to spin up large infrastructure.
For teams invested in service automation, Kubernetes, and extensible platform tools, Klutch represents a promising alternative that’s both open and practical. And with its next phase focused on real-world adoption, Fischer and team are inviting early adopters to help shape the platform.
“We’re looking for startup clients who are willing to do POCs,” Fischer said. “That’s what will enable the productive use of Klutch.”
In an ecosystem crowded with infrastructure tools, Klutch’s combination of open integrations and production-readiness make it one to watch.
