What is Kargo?

Kargo is an open-source continuous promotion tool for GitOps-based application delivery. It moves changes from one environment to the next using GitOps principles, without bespoke automation or over-leveraging on CI pipelines.

Continuous promotion means moving each new version of your application from one stage to the next — dev to staging to production — under rules you set, partly or fully automated, every time a change is ready to move.

New to the category? Our guide to continuous promotion covers the pattern and how to decide if you need it.
