Overview

There are different ways to evaluate the Chainloop Platform:
  1. Software as a Service - Use our hosted instance (quickest way to get started)
  2. Kubernetes - Deploy using the Enterprise Edition Helm chart (easiest transition to production)
  3. Local Docker Compose - Deploy locally in development mode for quick evaluation

​
Software as a Service

The quickest way to evaluate the Chainloop Platform is to use our hosted instance:
  1. Request access to the platform
  2. Once approved, you can immediately start using the Chainloop Platform without any local setup

​
Kubernetes

Kubernetes is the recommended self-hosted evaluation path since it maps directly to a production setup. The Enterprise Edition Helm chart includes a development mode for easy evaluation. To get started:
  1. Visit the Chainloop contact page to request access credentials for the Enterprise Edition container images
  2. Follow the Enterprise Edition Deployment guide, using the development mode section for a quick evaluation setup

​
Local Docker Compose

If you prefer a lightweight local evaluation without Kubernetes, you can use Docker Compose:
  1. Visit the Chainloop contact page
  2. In your message, mention that you are interested in running an evaluation lab environment locally
  3. The Chainloop team will send you the lab environment package, which includes:
    • Complete setup instructions
    • Credentials to pull the container images
    • All necessary configuration files

​
Evaluate Open Source

If you are only interested in the open source Chainloop Evidence Store, you can deploy it directly using the Helm chart on GitHub.
