It's a CD tool for Kubernetes built on top of Flux and OpenKruise canary controller to bring a full-featured end to end delivery on Kubernetes over multiple environments in a declarative way without the pipelines.

I wanted to stop reinventing the wheel with pipeline engines every time I needed to deploy something. Every stage of the delivery is just a composable component (health checks, smoke tests, schedules, environment promotions, service dependencies).

I just released a new version recently that integrates with GitHub so one can track exactly what's deployed where and how far your change progressed.

It's heavily inspired by https://aws.amazon.com/builders-library/automating-safe-hand... and Spinnaker.

I wrote a bit more about helm design a while ago [0]. Nowadays, I use Helm from kustomize quite a lot because some projects don't provide any other way of deploying. However, you still need to check what helm is actually generating, especially if there's any hooks that need to be replaced with something declarative.
