What does Krayin CRM do, and why do teams deploy it?
Krayin CRM is a free and open-source customer relationship management platform built on Laravel. It provides a full-featured sales pipeline with lead management, contact tracking, deal stages, activity logging, and email integration. Its modular architecture allows customization through packages, and its clean UI makes it accessible for sales teams of any size.
Krayin CRM is ideal for small to mid-size businesses that want a self-hosted CRM without recurring per-seat licensing costs. It supports multiple pipelines, custom attributes, workflow automation, and role-based access control. With built-in email tracking and a Kanban-style deal board, teams get a clear view of their sales process from lead to close.

Self-hosting Krayin CRM vs managed — what does it really cost?
The software is free. The engineer-hours are not.
Running it yourself
- Installing PHP, Laravel, and MySQL with the exact extension set Krayin requires — missing a single PHP module (intl, gd, zip) causes cryptic installation failures
- Configuring queue workers, cron jobs for scheduled tasks, and supervisor processes to keep email sync and workflow automations running reliably in the background
- Setting up email integration with IMAP/SMTP credentials, OAuth tokens, and mail parsing rules that break whenever your email provider rotates certificates
- Running a CRM with customer PII on a server without automated backups, leaving sales pipeline data and contact histories one disk failure away from permanent loss
- Manually applying Krayin updates that require Composer installs, database migrations, and config file merges — each upgrade risks breaking customizations
On ManageStacks
- ManageStacks deploys Krayin CRM with all required PHP extensions, Laravel queue workers, and MySQL pre-configured — no command-line package installation needed
- Background workers, cron schedulers, and supervisor processes are managed at the infrastructure level with automatic restart on failure and resource monitoring
- Email integration setup is streamlined with guided IMAP/SMTP configuration and persistent connection monitoring that alerts you if mail sync stops working
- Daily encrypted database backups with 30-day retention ensure customer data, deal pipelines, and communication history are protected against any failure scenario
- Rolling updates apply new Krayin versions with automatic database migrations and configuration merges, preserving your customizations while keeping the CRM current

How long from subscribing to a live instance?
Connect your cloud account
Link your AWS, Azure, or GCP account through a scoped IAM role. ManageStacks provisions a VPC with the Krayin application server, MySQL database, and Redis cache in private subnets.
Configure your CRM domain and email
Set a custom domain for your CRM (e.g., crm.yourcompany.com) and configure email integration by connecting your team's IMAP and SMTP credentials. All email communication with leads and contacts flows through your existing email infrastructure.
Set up your sales pipeline and team
Create user accounts for your sales team, define pipeline stages, custom attributes, and lead scoring rules. Import existing contacts and deals from CSV or migrate from another CRM to preserve your sales history.
Launch and start selling
ManageStacks handles SSL, backups, queue workers, and cron jobs. Your team opens the CRM, starts managing leads, scheduling activities, and tracking deals through the pipeline with a fully operational system from day one.
When is self-hosting Krayin CRM the right answer instead?
“Managed hosting is not always the correct call.”
Self-host when a platform team already runs the infrastructure and on-call rotation to operate Krayin CRM at genuinely low marginal cost. Self-host when compliance requires an air-gapped or on-premises deployment that no hosted option can satisfy. And self-host when the deployment depends on heavy customisation with a fast internal build-deploy loop, because an internal release process will beat any managed change process.
For everyone else — teams whose engineers have better things to do than shepherd upgrades — managed hosting is cheaper than the hours it replaces.
Which cloud should Krayin CRM run on — AWS, Azure or GCP?
For most workloads, the choice of cloud matters less than proximity: run Krayin CRM in the same cloud and region as the applications and data it talks to, because every request between them adds a round trip. The underlying compute performs equivalently across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
In practice, an existing cloud footprint decides it. All plans support all three clouds, and moving regions later is a scheduled migration, not a rebuild.
Deepest managed-service catalog, default when there's no existing footprint
Best fit for teams already on Microsoft 365 or Entra ID
Strongest for data/analytics-adjacent workloads
Every plan supports AWS, Azure, and GCP — region choice included.
