The shift

Replace chart sprawl with one deployment engine.

Keep service configuration close to the service. Keep Kubernetes templates reusable.

Why one chart is enough

Keep application-specific configuration in values.yaml instead of creating and maintaining a new chart for every service.

01

Less duplication

Use the same tested templates across teams and services.

02

More coverage

From a basic Deployment to Jobs, storage, and advanced networking.

03

GitOps-ready

Works with Helm, Argo CD, Flux, and standard CI pipelines.

Designed for the people shipping Kubernetes

Platform Engineers

Standardize the paved road without blocking application teams.

DevOps & SRE

Reduce repeated chart maintenance and make releases predictable.

GitOps teams

Keep environment intent in Git and let Helm or Argo CD reconcile it.

A useful boundary

When should you not use this chart?

Choose a dedicated solution when you need:

  • Operator-based applications with their own lifecycle.
  • Highly custom CRDs and reconciliation logic.
  • Vendor-specific deployment behavior that should not be generalized.

Start in minutes

Add the repository and install an application with the same idempotent command you use for upgrades.
