How does Garden work?
Garden gives you the fast feedback of local dev and the realism and testing capabilities of higher environments in one tool.
Here's how:
STEP 1
You codify your stack with YAML declarations that describe how your system is built, deployed, and tested.
STEP 2
Garden uses these definitions to create a Stack Graph—a portable, general-purpose dependency-aware blueprint that allows you to deploy the same production-like environments in development and CI.
STEP 3
You deploy your entire stack in a single command in any environment, selectively rebuilding and retesting only the parts that have changed.
Improve developer experience
Devs code in production-like environments that run in remote Kubernetes clusters with feedback loops that feel local.
Eliminate configuration drift
DevOps Engineers cut drift with one config to deploy the whole stack in any environment from dev to QA to production.
Iterate rapidly
Product and QA can easily access work-in-progress with one-click preview environments.
