Should we use kpack or tekton pipelines

I'm kind of leaning toward Tekton because it can be used for CD as well, and it has a nice readonly dashboard to let people feel like they can see what's happening. It's definitely more complex both in build and in the way it will be triggered by a commit push, though. A kpack Image object can theoretically poll for changes. Either way, each one requires some k8s resources to be created in a consistent way by script or API call, and then things should just happen. Bstorm (talk) 22:10, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

I've got a working model of Tekton at this point. I see no reason not to use it. The buildpack task requires root in the init container (to chown things to uid 1000), but that pod is not given a free hand and doesn't not run in privileged mode. Bstorm (talk) 23:30, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
