Podinfo is a tiny Go web application that serves as a reference microservice template showcasing Kubernetes best practices. It ships with Helm, Kustomize, and Timoni installers and is used by CNCF projects like Flux and Flagger for end-to-end testing and demos.
Use cases
- test gitops deployments with a sample microservice
- learn kubernetes microservice best practices
- test canary deployments and progressive delivery
- demo prometheus metrics and health probes in kubernetes
- practice helm and kustomize deployments
- test circuit breakers with fault injection
When to choose
- you need a realistic sample app for Kubernetes, GitOps, or progressive delivery testing
- you want a template showing production-ready Go microservice patterns
- you're running Flux or Flagger workshops and e2e tests
When to avoid
- you need a production business application rather than a demo/test workload
- your stack isn't Kubernetes or container-based
