Codefresh, a container-native CI/CD platform, announced its plans to support Helm Charts, which act as a package manager for Kubernetes, ahead of the KubeCon conference. This integration allows for enhanced development parallelization, validation of full application stacks, and the provision of self-serve application templates, ultimately enabling release engineers to utilize the full platform context within continuous delivery pipelines. By employing Helm Charts, Codefresh can create on-demand environments for testing, shifting the testing process left and providing instant feedback to developers without requiring DevOps intervention, thus allowing for quicker issue identification and more frequent deployments. The platform's ability to define applications once for repeated deployments ensures scalability, with each pipeline running in isolation and capable of handling numerous changes in parallel. Codefresh, already using Helm Charts internally, plans to demonstrate this functionality at KubeCon and aims for general availability soon.
