Getting started

What Moonway is, how it's shaped, and the fastest path to your first insight.

Moonway is a Kubernetes cockpit: a desktop app and a local daemon, and nothing else. The daemon — moonwayd — connects with your kubeconfig, holds a live watch on every cluster you point it at, and computes what the app shows: what's wrong right now, what changed and when, how everything connects, and what's quietly misconfigured. Nothing deploys into your cluster, and your cluster data never leaves your machine.

The shape of the thing

One process does the work. moonwayd opens watch streams, keeps an in-memory cache of your cluster, and runs every engine — triage, the change journal, the atlas, the checks — against that cache, so the app answers from memory instead of hammering your API server. The app talks to the daemon over a token-guarded API on 127.0.0.1, and the journal persists in a local SQLite file.

That shape is why the app is fast, why it works offline and air-gapped, and why uninstalling leaves no trace: there was never anything in the cluster to clean up.
