* Tekton, a powerful but flexible Kubernetes-native open-source framework, helps developers build, test, and deploy across various cloud providers.
* Started life as a part of the Knative project; the framework aids in continuous integration and continuous delivery of the software components. Furthermore, being a Knative technology, Tekton is easy to scale; thus, you can add more nodes to your clusters during a higher workload.
* Its goal is to specify the ‘API’ and provide the Kubernetes building blocks so that the developers can run their pipelines in a cloud-native fashion.
* With Tekton, you can build cloud-native CI/CD systems in Kubernetes and take advantage of standardized tools and procedures that work with all vendors, platforms, and languages. As a result, it works very well with Jenkins, Jenkin X, Skaffold, Knative, and many more CI/CD tools.
* Tekton pipelines go well with other third-party tools enabling you to store, manage and secure your artifacts.
* Tekton is ideal for developers who need CI/CD systems to do their work and platform engineers who build CI/CD systems for developers in their organization.
