Cloud Native CD Pipelines with Tekton
summary
Tekton provides Kubernetes-native building blocks—Task/Pipeline/Trigger CRDs—used here to dogfood Tekton itself: nightly and on‑demand pipelines build and publish container images, deploy git‑stored manifests, and send CloudEvents for observability and Slack notifications. CI creates ephemeral PR namespaces that deploy a full copy of the CD system from the PR, run the pipelines, and block merges for failures; untrusted PRs are filtered out. Notes: heavy YAML, need for DSLs, better testing, labels and log archival to manage resource churn.
