Make shipping applications more enjoyable.
KubeVela
KubeVela is a modern application delivery system. It brings Developer Centric experience to Kubernetes based application deployment, in a robust, repeatable and modularized approach.

What problems does it solve?
Application deployment with developer-centric experience requires higher level primitives which is out-of-scope of Kubernetes itself. Hence, we platform teams build abstractions.
However, great in flexibility and extensibility, the existing solutions such as IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) and client-side templating tools all lead to Configuration Drift (i.e. the generated instances are not in line with the expected configuration) which is a nightmare in production.
KubeVela allows platform teams to create developer-centric platforms with IaC but maintain them with the battle tested Kubernetes Control Loop. Think about a framework that turns your Kubernetes cluster into a Heroku via abstractions designed by yourself.
Getting Started
Features
- Robust, repeatable and extensible approach to create and maintain abstractions - design your abstractions with CUE or Helm, ship them to end users in LEGO-style, automatically generating GUI forms, upgrade your abstractions at runtime, and let Kubernetes controller guarantee determinism of the abstractions, no configuration drift.
- 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), seamless integration with observability systems.
- Multi-cluster app delievry model - built-in model to deliver or rollout your apps across multiple enviroments and/or clusters, seamless integration with Service Mesh for traffic shifting.
- Simple and Kubernetes native - KubeVela is just a simple custom controller, all its app delivery abstractions and features are defined as Kubernetes Custom Resources so they naturally work with any CI/CD or GitOps tools.
