Local code validation at CI agent speed.

Kerno moves behavior and integration testing from CI to the developer's machine, giving AI agents an instant feedback loop to catch and fix what they broke in every session.

Trusted by AI-native backend teams
Local CI for your agentic workflows

AI agents write code that looks right in isolation. Kerno makes sure it doesn't break at integration.

Run multiple worktrees with confidence knowing Kerno will flag breaking changes and behavior drifts before they make it to PR.
/Kerno validate

Validate every code change on-demand in flow against real services.

Kerno automatically orchestrates your app and its dependencies locally and mocks external dependencies so your tests run against the same stack your code runs on.

"Kerno was up and running in minutes with no manual work, and it made our API migration so much smoother. We could instantly validate that every change made by Cursor worked the way we expected, and now it's a core part of how we build."

Misch Strotz
Co-Founder & CEO
Supports your dependencies

Kerno captures the baseline behavior of critical paths for your REST endpoints, then compares your code changes to the baseline and flags diffs.

Kerno will validate:

As your app evolves, Kerno retires stale tests and generates coverage for new behavior automatically. You'll never manually maintain a test suite again.

"Kerno saves us a lot of manual work and helps us catch side effects and issues that would definitely break our projects' backends. Our engineering team loves it."

Co-Founder & CTO
Supports complex codebases

Kerno indexes your codebase to build a deep understanding of how everything works together and test every critical flow of your application.

Kerno shifts validation and testing to the point of generation

"We were using Cursor heavily and had no real safety net. Kerno was running in minutes, and suddenly we could move fast without that low-level anxiety every time an agent touched something critical. It's now a non-negotiable part of our stack."
