## What it is
KubeVela is a CNCF-incubating, application-centric software delivery control plane built on Kubernetes and the Open Application Model. It lets teams declare deployment workflows as code (extensible with CUE) and deliver applications across hybrid, multi-cloud, and multi-cluster environments with built-in rollout strategies, observability, and security.

## Use cases
- deploy applications across multiple kubernetes clusters
- set up canary and blue-green progressive rollouts
- declare deployment workflows as code with gitops
- build an internal developer platform for app delivery
- manage multi-cloud hybrid application delivery
- orchestrate microservices deployment with policies and traits
- add multi-tenancy and rbac to kubernetes app delivery

## When to choose
- you deliver applications across multiple clusters, clouds, or hybrid environments
- you want an application-centric abstraction (OAM) over raw Kubernetes manifests
- you need progressive delivery with canary, blue-green, and manual approval workflows
- you want a programmable, extensible delivery control plane with CUE modules and addons

## When to avoid
- you deploy only to a single small Kubernetes cluster with simple needs
- you already have a mature Argo CD/Flux GitOps setup and don't need app-level workflows
- your team cannot take on an additional platform control plane to operate

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: deployment, workflow-automation, ci-cd, microservices, serverless, configuration-management, developer-tools
- domain: cloud-computing, microservices, self-hosted
- platform: go, cloud, self-hosted, cli
- tags: oam, kubernetes, control-plane, multicluster, hybrid-cloud, cue, gitops, cncf, paas, application-delivery, canary-deployment, progressive-delivery, devops, automation, docker
