Platform capabilities - Akua

Catalog categories bridged to docs surfaces: Compute to Clusters, Commerce to Marketplace & Commerce, and Packaging plus Delivery merging into Installations

Akua’s public product catalog shows platform capabilities by category: Compute, Packaging, Delivery, Networking, Commerce, Agents, and Platform. The docs use a task-oriented sidebar, so the category names do not always appear as top-level navigation items. Use this page as the bridge between the catalog and the docs.

Capability map

Compute

Create managed clusters, import existing clusters, add workers, choose regions, and manage compute lifecycle.

Packaging

Define reusable Package versions, input schemas, source composition, and package authoring.

Delivery

Install, render, customize, version, and update applications in customer or internal workspaces.

Networking

Expose applications with preview domains, direct IP routing, custom domains, and Gateway API routes.

Commerce

Sell software through marketplace listings, Offers, checkout, payments, and customer order flow.

Agents

Configure agents, sessions, approvals, ambient work, and API access for automation.

Platform

Manage workspaces, organizations, API tokens, notifications, private registries, billing, security, and quotas.

Dashboards

Build custom operational views from API-backed snippets.

Products vs platform capabilities

Akua uses the word Product in two different user contexts:

Platform capabilities are the things Akua itself provides, such as Compute, Delivery, Commerce, and Agents.
Sellable products are the software packages you create and sell to customers through the marketplace or private Offers.

If you want to understand the platform surface, start with the capability map above. If you want to package and sell your own software, start with Sellable products.
