| Deployment | Instances can use local providers, federate other Kubling instances, or both; the site says no central instance is required. | Ontop can be deployed as a SPARQL endpoint using its command-line interface or Docker image. |
| Purpose | Kubling provides AI agents and automation with a bounded model of live IT and OT state, federated directly from source systems. | Ontop exposes relational database contents as virtual knowledge graphs and translates SPARQL queries into SQL queries executed by the source databases. |
In their own words
Kubling
Kubling gives AI agents and automation a bounded model of live IT and OT state, federated directly from source systems. It defines shared entities, relationships, source ownership, and valid actions so queries and mutations can cross databases, APIs, and infrastructure. Providers translate operations into each source’s native protocol while retaining credentials, source logic, and release cycles; Kubling handles federation, planning, and policy. The OpenAPI provider exposes API operations as relational entities and maps mutations to HTTP operations. Instances can use local providers, federate other Kubling instances, or do both, with no central instance required. Providers are independent services behind a public gRPC contract and can be written in any gRPC-supported language. The catalog lists Cassandra, Kubernetes, OpenAPI, Redis, and an in-memory provider. The provider protocol, Go SDK, and official providers are open source, but the engine is not. Quickstart requires Git, Docker Engine, and Docker Compose v2. Provider APIs are pre-1.0; exact versions are recommended.
