kubechecks - Fearless Kubernetes App Updates
Check your Kubernetes manifests before it hits the cluster
You're deep into developing new projects for your Kubernetes cluster. Local testing shows all green. Unit tests? Passing. You merge your changes into your main branch... and ArgoCD starts showing red. Sound familiar?
This is where kubechecks enters the picture. kubechecks is a handy tool that detects changes between your live deployments
managed via ArgoCD and changes made in your PR/MRs; letting you know before you merge that branch what will change. On top of
that, kubechecks runs handy linting reports from kubepug, kubeconform, and conftest to build an even better picture of those changes.
Think of it like terraform plan but for Kubernetes; with kubechecks, you'll have greater confidence than ever before in your changes.
Why kubechecks?
kubechecks was built out a desire to simplify the amount of separate pipelines required to be run for pull requests at Zapier. We've been using it internally for awhile now, and we think it's pretty great; and we hope you find it useful, too!
Some great features:
- Supports Github and Gitlab.
- Clear visibility into what new commits will actually change against your live applications
- Validate your manifests are production-ready via multiple checks automatically
