"Tekton Pipeline Engineering"
"Tekton Pipeline Engineering" is a comprehensive guide to designing, implementing, and operating modern CI/CD workflows using Tekton, the industry-leading Kubernetes-native pipeline framework. The book lays a strong foundation by exploring Tekton's architectural principles, core concepts such as tasks and pipelines, and its seamless integration into the cloud native ecosystem. It demystifies Tekton's unique approach to extensibility, explaining how its rich API, custom resources, and controller model enable teams to model even the most sophisticated software delivery workflows.
From authoring advanced YAML configurations to orchestrating dynamic, event-driven pipelines, the book addresses every facet of pipeline construction. Readers will master workflow complexity—handling conditionals, loops, secure secrets management, and artifact flows—while learning how to build robust integration points with external systems, registries, and messaging platforms. Special attention is given to production-grade concerns, including observability, debugging, resilience, and scaling Tekton deployments for multi-tenant and hybrid-cloud environments.
The practical guidance is further enriched by best practices, reusable design patterns, and hard-earned lessons from production-scale enterprise deployments. Extensive case studies cover Tekton's application in AI/ML, data engineering, and hybrid cloud scenarios, while forward-looking chapters discuss community innovations and benchmark Tekton against alternative CI/CD solutions. Whether you are a DevOps engineer, platform architect, or open source contributor, "Tekton Pipeline Engineering" is your authoritative reference for building powerful, scalable, and secure CI/CD systems on Kubernetes.
