Make shipping applications more enjoyable.
KubeVela is the platform engine to create developer-centric experience on Kubernetes, in a scalable approach.

Building developer-centric platforms with Kubernetes 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 abstractions with IaC but maintain them with the battle tested Kubernetes Control Loop. Think about a plug-in that turns your Kubernetes cluster into a Heroku via abstractions designed by yourself.
- Robust, repeatable and extensible approach to create and maintain abstractions - design your abstractions with CUE or Helm, ship them to end users by
kubectl apply -f, 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-enviroment app delievry model (WIP) - built-in model to deliver or rollout your apps across multiple enviroments and/or clusters, seamless integration with Service Mesh for traffic management.
- 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.
