-Garden is an open-source development engine for Kubernetes, containers and serverless backends designed to make it easy to test and develop multi-service systems. +Garden is a _development orchestrator_ for Kubernetes, containers and functions, designed to make it easy to rapidly develop and test multi-service systems. -- **Focus on what matters:** Garden continuously builds, tests and deploys your changes into your own persistent development environment as you code. Easily define and continuously run tests in the background, and focus on writing code. +Using Garden, you can make your workflow reproducible and portable. With Garden, each part of your stack _describes itself_ using simple, intuitive declarations, without changing any code. -- **Codify your workflow:** Make your workflow reproducible and portable. Define your stack using simple, intuitive declarations and get your environment up and running with a single command, without changing any code. +Garden collects all of your declarations–even across multiple repositories—into a full graph of your stack, and leverages that information to **dramatically improve your developer experience**. -![](docs/loop.gif) +> _If you’re using Garden or if you like the project, please ★ star this repository to show your support 💖_ -The project is in _alpha stage_. APIs may change, and platform stability and support is still limited. To understand the motivation behind Garden, [click here](https://garden.io/#motivation). +## Key features + +- Spin up your whole stack with a single command, and (optionally) watch for changes. Because of the dependency graph, only what's needed gets re-built, re-deployed, and/or re-tested, so you get **much faster feedback loops**. +- Easily write [integration test suites](https://docs.garden.io/using-garden/features-and-usage#testing-and-dependencies) that have runtime dependencies. Run tests before pushing your code to CI, and avoid having to mock or stub your own services. +- Define [tasks](https://github.com/garden-io/garden/tree/master/examples/tasks) that run as part of your deployment process, e.g. database migrations or scaffolding. +- [Hot reload](https://docs.garden.io/using-garden/hot-reload) lets you near-instantaneously update code and static files in containers as they run, for services that support in-place reloading. +- [Remote sources](https://docs.garden.io/examples/remote-sources) support allows your project to automatically pull code from different repositories. +- The built-in web **dashboard** gives you a full overview of your stack (and many more UI features are planned to further aid with development). +- Build, test and deploy Docker containers, [Helm charts](https://docs.garden.io/using-garden/using-helm-charts), OpenFaaS functions and more. +- An extensible plug-in system ensures you'll later be able add anything that's not on this list, or create custom module types tailored to your needs (_due in March 2019_). + +_Note: The project is in alpha stage. APIs may change, and some features are still experimental._ + +
