werf is a CNCF Sandbox CLI tool to implement full-cycle CI/CD to Kubernetes easily. werf integrates into your CI system and leverages familiar and reliable technologies, such as Git, Dockerfile, Helm, and Buildah.

What makes werf special:

  • Complete application lifecycle management: build and publish container images, test, deploy an application to Kubernetes, distribute release artifacts and clean up the container registry.
  • Ease of use: use Dockerfiles and Helm chart for configuration and let werf handle all the rest.
  • Advanced features: automatic build caching and content-based tagging, enhanced resource tracking and extra capabilities in Helm, a unique container registry cleanup approach, and more.
  • Gluing common technologies: Git, Buildah, Helm, Kubernetes, and your CI system of choice.
  • Production-ready: werf has been used in production since 2017; thousands of projects rely on it to build & deploy various apps.
