About

Garden automates Kubernetes development and testing by enabling on-demand, production-like environments with consistent workflows and accelerated build/test cycles.

Automation for Kubernetes development and testing. Spin up production-like environments for development, testing, and CI on demand. Use the same configuration and workflows at every step of the process. Speed up your builds and test runs via shared result caching

Primary Use Case

Garden is designed for developers and DevOps teams working with Kubernetes applications who need to streamline their development, testing, and CI workflows. It allows users to spin up production-like environments on demand, use consistent configurations across all delivery stages, and speed up build and test processes through smart caching.

Key Features

Spin up production-like Kubernetes environments on demand for development, testing, and CI
Use the same configuration and workflows across all stages of software delivery
Smart caching to speed up builds and test runs
Stack Graph for dependency tracking and efficient change detection
Support for splitting configuration across multiple files and repositories
Sync mode for live reloading and fast feedback during development
Interactive dev console to build, deploy, and test projects
Integration with CI pipelines for preview environments on pull requests

Installation

Follow the quickstart guide at https://docs.garden.io/getting-started/quickstart for the fastest setup

Usage

>_ garden deploy

Builds and deploys the project according to the Garden configuration

>_ garden test

Runs tests defined in the Garden configuration

>_ garden deploy --env preview

Deploys a preview environment, typically used in CI pipelines on pull requests

>_ garden deploy --sync

Enables sync mode which live reloads changes for fast feedback during development

>_ garden dev

Starts an interactive development console to build, deploy, and test the project

Usage Insights

Integrate Garden with CI/CD pipelines to automate security testing and environment provisioning, reducing human error and accelerating feedback loops.
Use Garden's production-like environment spin-ups to simulate attacker behaviors and test detection capabilities in realistic Kubernetes setups.
Leverage Garden's dependency tracking and smart caching to optimize security regression testing after code or configuration changes.
Combine Garden with container security scanning tools to enforce Infrastructure as Code security policies before deployment.
Employ Garden's sync mode and interactive dev console for rapid purple team exercises, enabling real-time collaboration between red and blue teams.
