# KubeVela
KubeVela is a modern application engine that adapts to your application's needs, not the other way around.

## What problems does it solve?
Traditional Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) system enables easy application deployments and everything just works, but this happiness disappears when your application outgrows the capabilities of your platform.
KubeVela is a modern application engine whose capabilities are actually Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) components coded by you or come from the ecosystem. Think of it as a *Heroku* which is fully programmable to serve your needs as you grow and expand.
As a plus, KubeVela leverages [Kubernetes Control Loop](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/controller/) to enforce all those abstractions so they will never leave *configuration drift* (i.e. the running instances are not in line with the expected configuration) in your clusters.
## Getting Started
- [Installation](https://kubevela.io/docs/install)
- [Quick start](https://kubevela.io/docs/quick-start)
- [How it works](https://kubevela.io/docs/concepts)
## Features
- **Zero-restriction deployment** - design and express platform capabilities with [CUE](https://cuelang.org/) or [Helm](https://helm.sh) per needs of your application, and let Kubernetes controller guarantee the deployment determinism. GUI forms are automatically generated for capabilities so even your dashboard are fully extensible.
- **Generic progressive rollout framework** - built-in rollout framework and strategies to upgrade your microservice regardless of its workload type (e.g. stateless, stateful, or even custom operators etc).
- **Multi-cluster multi-revision application deployment** - built-in model to deploy or rollout your apps across hybrid infrastructures, with Service Mesh for traffic shifting.
- **Simple and native** - KubeVela is a just simple Kubernetes custom controller, all its capabilities are defined as [Custom Resources](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/custom-resources/) so they naturally work with any CI/CD or GitOps tools that works with Kubernetes.
