Yeah, pretty similar overall. Tho Tekton is also the underlying technology for Jenkins X. With Jenkins being such a common system in the CI/CD space, I think we'll see Tekton preferred going forward.

A closer comparison would be to Argo Workflow. Tekton and Argo Workflow provide ways to declare workflow pipelines for execution on Kubernetes. Tekton focuses on source based workflows, while Argo is more general purpose.

We've been working with the Argo team to make sure Argo CD works well with Tekton, and we now have a first-class integration in the tekton catalog, contributed by that team.

Disclosure: one of the leads and founders of the Tekton project.

Looks like a pretty strong string of commits. This one has some mojo.

I literally just today bought a Tekton [1] torque wrench and was wondering what business they had that required CI pipelines.

Different company.

That...is an interesting dependency direction? Isn't Tekton MUCH newer? Are they developed by similar people?

This handles the ci part. Argo handles the cd. I use them both together now.
