Rig is a self-hosted, open-source service-lifecycle platform for Kubernetes that provides a developer-friendly deployment engine, dashboard, CLI, and operator for rolling out, managing, debugging, and scaling applications. It acts as the application layer of an Internal Developer Platform, with a plugin framework and simple CLI commands for CI/CD integration.
Use cases
- simplify deploying and rolling out services on kubernetes
- build an internal developer platform for my team
- give developers a friendly UI and CLI to manage k8s apps
- debug and scale applications running in a kubernetes cluster
- integrate kubernetes deployments into a ci/cd pipeline
- self-host a developer platform in my own cluster
- customize deployment behavior with plugins
When to choose
- you run Kubernetes and want to abstract its complexity away from application developers
- you want a self-hosted IDP application layer with a CLI, dashboard, and operator
- you need simple CLI commands to drive deployments from CI/CD pipelines
- you want an extensible platform with a plugin framework for custom infrastructure integrations
When to avoid
- you are not using Kubernetes - Rig is tightly coupled to k8s
- you need a fully managed SaaS deployment platform rather than self-hosted tooling
- you require long-term vendor-backed support - Rig.dev has been acquired by Harness, which took exclusive rights to the IP, so the open-source project's future is uncertain
- you only need raw kubectl/Helm without an additional abstraction layer
