Deep Dive: Brigade
summary
Brigade is an event-driven scripting layer on Kubernetes that runs JavaScript to start pods, pass outputs between containers, and handle try/catch and retries; it auto-attaches PVCs to jobs so multiple tasks share files, maps external webhooks via simple gateways by creating events as Kubernetes secrets, and pulls NPM dependencies per execution unless baked into images. The runtime needs a controller plus short-lived worker pods (about controller + worker = ~3 pods footprint) and includes CLI/dashboard, gateway examples (Go/Node/Python), unit and integration test tooling, and guidance for namespace isolation, RBAC and HTTPS authentication.
