28. Application lifecycle orchestration

Date: 2023-10-10

Status

Accepted

Context

The necessity for a next-gen continuous delivery and application lifecycle orchestration platform tailored for Kubernetes was recognized.

The platform should be able to:

• Automate the progressive rollout of changes across application lifecycle stages
• Leverage GitOps principles
• Integrate with technologies like Argo CD, Flux, and Tekton

Decision

Adopt Kargo for streamlining and automating the progressive rollout of changes across application lifecycle stages, leveraging GitOps principles and integrating with technologies like Argo CD, Flux, and Tekton.

How it work

Consequences

Enhanced automation, streamlined application delivery, and the mitigation of confusion between deployment stages. Potential breaking changes during active Kargo development are to be anticipated.
