## What it is
Brigade is an event-driven scripting platform for Kubernetes that lets teams run scriptable automated tasks in JavaScript or TypeScript, triggered by events from sources like GitHub, Slack, Docker Hub, and cron. It is an archived CNCF project, with its last release in March 2023.

## Use cases
- run automated tasks on kubernetes triggered by events
- trigger ci jobs from github push events
- run scriptable pipelines on a kubernetes cluster
- react to slack messages with automated jobs
- schedule cron-based jobs on kubernetes
- let developers run jobs on k8s without cluster access

## When to choose
- you already run Brigade and need to maintain existing scripts
- you need event-driven job execution on Kubernetes and can self-host an archived project

## When to avoid
- starting a new project, since Brigade is archived with no further development
- you need a supported CI/CD or workflow engine with active community
- you don't run Kubernetes

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: workflow-automation, scheduling, webhook, developer-tools, cli
- domain: developer-tools, cloud-computing
- platform: go, self-hosted, cloud
- tags: event-driven, scripting, cncf, archived, ci-cd, event-gateways, helm, devops, automation, containers, kubernetes, docker
