Spinnaker

Spinnaker is an open source CI/CD solution from Netflix. It has many benefits, including the following:

  • It has been adopted by many companies.
  • It has a lot of integration with other products.
  • It supports a lot of best practices.

The downsides of Spinnaker are as follows:

  • It is a large and complicated system.
  • It has a steep learning curve.
  • It is not Kubernetes-specific.

In the end, I decided to skip on Spinnaker – not because of any fault of Spinnaker itself, but because I don't have experience with it. I didn't want to learn such a large product from scratch while developing Delinkcious itself and writing this book. You may very well find that Spinnaker is the right CI/CD solution for you.
