Overview

PipeCD - a Gitops style continuous delivery solution

What Is PipeCD?

Why PipeCD?

Visibility

• Deployment pipeline UI shows clarify what is happening
• Separate logs viewer for each individual deployment
• Realtime visualization of application state
• Deployment notifications to slack, webhook endpoints
• Insights show metrics like lead time, deployment frequency, MTTR and change failure rate to measure delivery performance

Automation

• Automated deployment analysis to measure deployment impact based on metrics, logs, emitted requests
• Automatically roll back to the previous state as soon as analysis or a pipeline stage fails
• Automatically detect configuration drift to notify and render the changes
• Automatically trigger a new deployment when a defined event has occurred (e.g. container image pushed, helm chart published, etc)

Safety and Security

• Support single sign-on and role-based access control
• Credentials are not exposed outside the cluster and not saved in the Control Plane
• Piped makes only outbound requests and can run inside a restricted network
• Built-in secrets management

Multi-provider & Multi-Tenancy

• Support multiple application kinds on multi-cloud including Kubernetes, Terraform, Cloud Run, AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS
• Support multiple analysis providers including Prometheus, Datadog, Stackdriver, and more
• Easy to operate multi-cluster, multi-tenancy by separating Control Plane and Piped

Open Source

• Released as an Open Source project
• Under APACHE 2.0 license, see LICENSE
