brigade

Hint: https://github.com/brigadecore/buck

Argo vs. Brigade some of the key differences are:

• K8s CRD vs. javascript execution service

• Declarative YAML vs. javascript

• Argo has built-in artifact support for input/output handling

• Argo does not have event handling yet (working on it :-)
