Garden

EmergingDeveloper Tools

Developer Platform for Kubernetes

Platform automating Kubernetes-based development and testing workflows to give developers fast, production-like environments.

About

Garden is a Berlin-based developer platform that provides engineering teams with automated, reproducible development and testing environments that closely mirror production. Garden's orchestration engine manages the full lifecycle of a Kubernetes-based application stack — building containers, deploying services, running integration tests, and syncing code changes — based on a declarative project description. Engineers benefit from shared remote build caches that make environment startup fast and consistent test environments that eliminate "it failed in CI but not locally" scenarios. Garden is particularly valuable for teams running complex microservices stacks where spinning up a full local environment is impractical. The platform integrates with GitHub Actions and other CI systems to provide ephemeral preview environments per pull request, enabling faster code review cycles. Founded in 2018, Garden raised over $25M from investors including Accel and Nauta Capital. It competes with Tilt, Skaffold, and Okteto in the Kubernetes developer environment market.
