Tekton, a new approach to pipelines
summary
Tekton is a Kubernetes-native CI/CD system (since 2019) maintained by about 150 companies. It provides an operator-driven model with Tasks, Pipelines, PipelineRuns, Triggers (binding/template/event) and a versioned task catalog; an example pipeline shows git clone → npm test → build container image with buildah and kustomize for manifests → push to registry → deploy, using PVC workspaces for shared state and the tkn CLI for UX/automation. Pipelines target completion times under 10–20 minutes and are already used in OpenShift, IBM and Red Hat environments.
