jx VS kubevela

Check out the https://jenkins-x.io/ project

Jenkins X (https://jenkins-x.io/) - standup k8s w gitops ci/cd around jenkins

Like: * Drone.io * GoCD * Github Actions * Gitlab CI * Circle CI * JenkinsX (not the same as old jenkins - it is from built from the ground up on kube with tekton)

You may want to checkout Jenkins X, it using Tekton underneath

Argo has served us well, but our devops architect is currently building out a new ci/cd pipeline to replace Argo with Jenkins X. https://jenkins-x.io/

Finally, I think the OAM model offers one possible future. Take a look at projects like KubeVela and Crossplane. These allow you to compose your own custom abstraction layer. The developer creates a simple CRD called "Application" and this is translated into ths k8s or even off-cluster resources. Problem right now is the complexity is transferred onto guys configuring the platform..... I want to see more "out of the box" implementations.

Gotcha, thanks! We already run ArgoCD but having devs write raw manifests feels so low-level when it’s usually the same combo of configmaps, ingresses, services, deployments… Maybe this is more in the direction of what I’m looking for? 🤔 https://kubevela.io

Note: On that topic, I'm keeping a close eye on the Open Application Model and the kubevela projects. I think it’ll help write a representation of an application and its components that we can validate the structure of our code against, and generate documentation from it. Not a complete solution to the problem, but it'll help with certain parts of architecture documentation

Also, kubevela is getting ready to connect to clusterpedia https://github.com/kubevela/kubevela/issues/4237,

https://kubevela.io/ is an alternative that has been around longer, exposes CUE naturally, and builds on open standards for app packs. I'd recommend this open-source product.
