It's a CD tool for Kubernetes built on top of Flux and OpenKruise canary controller to bring a full end to end delivery on Kubernetes in a declarative way without the pipelines. Every stage of the delivery is just a composable component (health checks, smoke tests, schedules, environment promotions).

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

It's a good list, although I think there's more to it even. 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.
