Timoni is a package manager for Kubernetes powered by CUE, inspired by Helm, that packages apps as type-safe CUE modules distributed as OCI artifacts. Its CLI manages the full app lifecycle on clusters, including installation, upgrades, drift correction, rollback, and bundle-based composition.

Use cases

• package and distribute kubernetes apps as oci artifacts
• helm alternative using cue instead of go templates
• manage kubernetes app lifecycle with install upgrade rollback
• compose multiple kubernetes modules into deployable bundles
• detect and correct configuration drift on a cluster
• author type-safe kubernetes deployment templates

When to choose

• you want type-safe, validated Kubernetes config authoring with CUE instead of Helm's Go templates or Kustomize overlays
• you distribute software to Kubernetes users and want semantically versioned, signed OCI modules
• you need declarative multi-app bundle delivery across environments

When to avoid

• you rely on the vast Helm chart ecosystem and existing charts
• you need a fully stable, backwards-compatible API - Timoni is young and its CLI/APIs may change
• your team has no appetite for learning CUE
