Zelkor Platform

Self-hosted infrastructure to deploy, test, govern, and run AI agents in production.

Zelkor wraps battle-tested open-source components — Aegra, Envoy AI Gateway, Langfuse, NeMo Guardrails, and Qdrant — into a unified Kubernetes deployment. It is an open-source alternative to LangGraph Platform and LangSmith for teams that need to run agents on their own infrastructure.

Quick Start

Get a local instance running on your laptop in under 5 minutes using Docker and kind.

Prerequisites: Docker, kind, helm, kubectl, and one LLM provider key (e.g., OpenAI).

git clone https://github.com/devopssquaddev/zelkor-platform.git
cd zelkor-platform
OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." ./install.sh

For full details, see the Local Quickstart Guide.

Deployment Options

Zelkor Community Edition can be deployed in three ways:

1. Local Quickstart: Laptop kind via ./install.sh. See docs/quickstart.md.
2. Existing Cluster: Evaluate CE in a namespace with ./scripts/install-quickstart.sh. See docs/helm-install.md.
3. Production Deployment: HA operators via ./scripts/install-production.sh. See docs/production.md.

Gateway setup depends on your cluster — greenfield, layered behind existing ingress, or shared Envoy infrastructure. See docs/envoy-gateway-topologies.md.

What's Included

Zelkor provides all the core pillars needed for an agentic runtime:

Component	Role
Aegra	Stateful agent orchestrator (LangGraph alternative)
Envoy AI Gateway	LLM API gateway, MCP router, and OTel GenAI telemetry
NeMo Guardrails	CPU-native conversational boundaries and dialog rails
Langfuse	Observability, tracing, and evaluations
Qdrant	Semantic memory and vector search
PostgreSQL / Valkey / ClickHouse	Databases for state, cache, and analytics

Baseline sandboxing is provided via gVisor (runsc) for untrusted code execution workloads.
