Acorn is a simple application deployment framework for Kubernetes that packages apps into a single artifact usable across dev, test, and production. It provides a simple CLI and API and runs on any Kubernetes cluster.

Use cases

  • deploy applications to kubernetes easily
  • package an app as one artifact for dev test and prod
  • simplify kubernetes deployments for developers
  • run the same app definition on any k8s cluster
  • deploy containerized apps without writing kubernetes manifests

When to choose

  • you want a simpler developer experience on top of Kubernetes
  • you need one deployable artifact across environments
  • you want a CLI-driven deployment workflow on any cluster

When to avoid

  • you need a fully stable, feature-frozen tool - releases may include breaking changes
  • you are not using Kubernetes
  • you need fine-grained control over raw Kubernetes manifests
