Get started

Get up and running with StormForge

StormForge collects Kubernetes observability metrics and uses machine learning to generate rightsizing recommendations for CPU and memory resource settings — helping teams reduce cloud spend and improve workload reliability without manual tuning.

What you’ll need

  • A Kubernetes cluster (any distribution: EKS, AKS, GKE, minikube, kind, and others)
  • A StormForge account — sign up for free at app.stormforge.io/signup
  • helm installed locally

In enterprise environments, verify firewall and proxy requirements before installing.
