Tiny Systems is now an agent runtime
Same engine underneath, sharper pitch on top. Why we stopped calling it a workflow platform and started calling it what people actually build with it.
Read →Building K8s workflows from a prompt
We added an MCP server to Tiny Systems so Claude and GPT can build and deploy Kubernetes workflows from natural language. Here's what that looks like.
Read →We replaced our registry mirror scanner with a K8s admission webhook
No more patching deployments after the fact. We intercept at the API level, rewrite images before pods exist, and let zot handle the rest.
Read →We built a self-healing registry mirror (because Docker Hub rate limits are no fun)
How we set up a local zot registry mirror on GKE and automated image mirroring with Tiny Systems — no more ImagePullBackOff.
Read →Workflow engines compared: where Tiny Systems fits
An honest look at Node-RED, n8n, Temporal, Argo Workflows, Airflow, and others — what they do well, where they fall short, and why we built something different.
Read →Introducing Tiny Systems
Build data pipelines, API servers, and automations by connecting components visually. No YAML, no custom controllers — flows that run as Kubernetes operators.
