Walrus is an open-source application management platform that simplifies application deployment and management on any infrastructure. 
It helps platform engineers build golden paths for developers and empowers developers with self-service capabilities.

# Why Walrus

- An enterprise-level XaC (Everything as Code) Platform that enables DevOps collaboration and self-service.
- Leverage existing tools including Terraform and OpenTofu, with more powerful and flexible orchestration and abstraction. 
- Without the need to be experts in Kubernetes or infrastructure, Developers can deploy and manage the entire application system on any infrastructure. 


# Key Features

- Unified Orchestration: Cloud-native applications are more than Kubernetes. Walrus orchestrates the entire application system, encompassing both application services and resource dependencies (such as databases, middleware, load balancers, and networks).
- Separation of Concerns: By leveraging [resource definitions](https://seal-io.github.io/docs/concepts#resource-definitions) provided by ops team, dev team can define resource type requirements and acheive self-service.
- Polymorphic Resource Management: A single resource type can be translated into polymorphic resources that operate in various modes and environments, from development to production. 
- Single Pane of Glass: Walrus provides a unified view of your entire application system in a [dependency graph](https://seal-io.github.io/docs/application/graph), including all application services, resources, and their sub-components.
- Dynamic Environment Management: Walrus allows you to start or stop application resources or environments as needed, enhancing hardware resource utilization and cost-effectiveness.
- UI Schema: Define how end users interact with and utilize the resources through the [UI schema](https://seal-io.github.io/docs/operation/template#customizing-template-ui-schema), without the need for code modification.
- Workflow Engine: Walrus includes a built-in workflow engine with extensible step templates, catering to diverse requirements for complex orchestration and deployment. 
- AI Assistance: With [Appilot](https://github.com/seal-io/appilot) integration, you can manage applications and troubleshoot issues through natural language interaction.
