Argo Events - The Event-Based Dependency Manager for Kubernetes

What is Argo Events?

Argo Events is an open source event-based dependency manager for Kubernetes. The core concept of the project are

• gateways which are implemented as a Kubernetes-native Custom Resource Definition that either produce the events internally or process the events that originate from outside the gateways

• sensors which are implemented as a Kubernetes-native Custom Resource Definition that define a set of dependencies and trigger actions.

  • Define multiple dependencies from a variety of gateway sources
  • Build custom gateways to support business-level constraint logic
  • Trigger messages and Kubernetes object creation after successful dependency resolution
  • Trigger escalation after errors, or dependency constraint failures
  • Build and manage a distributed, cross-team, event-driven architecture
  • Easily leverage Kubernetes-native APIs to monitor dependencies

Why Argo Events?

• Runtime agnostic. The first runtime and package agnostic event framework for Kubernetes.
• Containers. Designed from the ground-up as Kubernetes-native.
• Extremely lightweight. All gateways, with the exception of calendar-based gateways, are event-driven, meaning that there is no polling involved.
• Configurable. Configure gateways at runtime
• Scalable & Resilient.
• Simple or Complex dependencies. Manage everything from simple, linear, real-time dependencies to complex, multi-source, batch job dependencies.
