Krypton ships as a single Helm chart with four components: manager (controller + scaler), control plane (REST API + UI), gateway (public ingress + activator), and a per-pod proxy sidecar the manager injects into agent pods.

If you just want to kick the tyres on a laptop, jump to Local testing — that wraps everything below in make deploy-dev.

1. Install the chart

helm install krypton oci://ghcr.io/kryptonhq/charts/krypton \
 --namespace krypton-system \
 --create-namespace \
 --set controlPlane.databaseUrl="postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db"

This installs the most recent chart; its appVersion pins the matching image tags. To pin a specific release, pass --version 0.0.4 (latest stable is v0.0.4).
