Tekton
Kubernetes-native building blocks for creating CI/CD pipelines, giving teams a standard, portable way to define pipelines as Kubernetes resources.
Overview
Tekton defines pipelines, tasks, and triggers as Kubernetes custom resources, so a CI/CD pipeline runs as ordinary Kubernetes workloads rather than depending on an external CI service - and because pipelines are just Kubernetes resources, they're portable between any Tekton-compatible tool or platform. It's a CNCF project designed as reusable infrastructure rather than a complete CI/CD product.
Tekton is a fit for platform teams building a custom CI/CD system or internal developer platform on Kubernetes, a lower-level building block than complete CI/CD tools like Jenkins or Woodpecker CI (also in this catalog).
