Multi-Stage GitOps Continuous Promotion

Kargo carries a verified change from dev to prod on its own, writing the commits and opening the PRs you’d otherwise script by hand.

Meet Kargo
The layer between CI and your clusters

CI confirms your code builds. GitOps keeps a cluster in sync with Git. Neither one decides what moves to the next environment, verifies it landed, or holds a broken change back. Kargo is that missing layer.

Progressive delivery

Multiple triggers

Warehouse: Watches your Git repos, image registries, and chart repos. Produces Freight when something new appears.

Freight: An immutable, versioned set of artifacts that travels through your pipeline as a single unit.

Stage: A target in your delivery flow. Stages link together to form a promotion pipeline.

Promotion: A request to move a specific piece of Freight into a Stage, running the steps you define.

Where open source stops

Promotion runs one cluster at a time. Ten regions means ten pipelines to trigger and reconcile by hand.
Your approval trail is Git commit history. Auditors ask who approved what, when, and against which policy.
Scope ends at Kubernetes. Terraform, VMs, and serverless promote somewhere else, or not at all.
Nothing rolls back on its own. A failed rollout waits for whoever is awake.

The Akuity Platform handles all four

The Akuity Platform

Same engine. Built for every environment, every team, every audit.

Deploy — Agent-based, not hub-and-spoke

The Application Controller runs inside each cluster over an egress-only connection, so secrets never leave and a compromised control plane can’t reach your infrastructure. No central bottleneck as clusters scale, tested to 100,000 apps on one control plane.

Promote — One pipeline, every environment

Codify the promotion path once and enforce it everywhere: dev to production, across Kubernetes, Terraform, VMs, and serverless, with approval gates and verification at every stage.

Operate — Agents scoped to your workflow

Three agents, each scoped by environment with every action logged: root-cause analysis on a failing sync, on-call remediation against a runbook, and promotion risk scoring before release.
