Garden

Garden

Founded by Bas Peters & Eythor Magnusson & Jón Edvald & Thor Sigurdsson in 2018

Spin up production-like Kubernetes environments for development, testing, and continuous integration pipelines

You can use Garden to create production-like environments on demand for testing, developing, and running continuous integration workflows on Kubernetes. It lets development teams share the exact same configuration files across local machines and cloud pipelines. The system features smart build and test caching to prevent repeating tasks across team members. You can sync code directly into running containers without full rebuilds, execute custom commands, manage secrets, and configure complex multi-service projects with reusable templates that connect easily with tools like Terraform and Pulumi.

What Garden does

Deploy applications to local or remote Kubernetes clustersRun automated tests against ephemeral preview environmentsSync local source files directly to containerized workloadsConfigure environment variables and secrets using templatesExecute custom scripts and workflows during deploymentBuild container images remotely to speed up developmentCache intermediate build and test outputs across CI runsSpin up production-like environments on demandShare build and test caches across team membersSync local code changes directly into running containersDefine multi-service dependencies and execution graphsTemplate configurations and secrets across multiple environmentsExecute container builds remotely in the cloudIntegrate directly with Terraform and Pulumi manifests
