A Kubernetes-native workflow engine and end-to-end pipeline solution for CI/CD and AI DevOps.
Cyclone is a Kubernetes-native workflow engine and end-to-end pipeline solution that enables complex task orchestration using native Kubernetes resources. It solves the problem of building and managing CI/CD and AI DevOps pipelines without introducing external dependencies, allowing deployment across any Kubernetes environment. The project combines a low-level, extensible workflow engine with high-level built-in pipeline templates for streamlined DevOps workflows.
DevOps engineers, platform teams, and developers who need to orchestrate CI/CD or AI DevOps pipelines within Kubernetes clusters, especially those seeking a dependency-free, native solution.
Developers choose Cyclone for its pure Kubernetes-native implementation, which eliminates extra dependencies and ensures portability across any Kubernetes deployment. Its unique selling point is the combination of a flexible, low-level workflow engine with ready-to-use high-level pipeline solutions for both traditional software and AI development.

Built entirely with native Kubernetes resources, Cyclone can be deployed anywhere Kubernetes runs, eliminating extra dependencies and ensuring compatibility across public, private, and hybrid clouds.
Supports directed acyclic graph workflow execution, enabling complex task dependencies and parallel processing for efficient pipeline orchestration.
Allows workflows to be executed in different Kubernetes clusters from where Cyclone is running, facilitating hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.
Provides curated DAG templates and stage runtimes specifically for CI/CD and AI DevOps pipelines, reducing setup time and standardizing workflows.
Requires Helm installation and is only tested with Kubernetes 1.12-1.14, which may pose compatibility issues or increase deployment effort for newer or older clusters.
Currently supports only cron and webhook triggers, with other types listed as 'upcoming' in the README, which might not cover all event-driven automation needs.
Compared to established tools like Jenkins or Argo, Cyclone has a smaller community and fewer pre-built integrations, potentially requiring more custom development for advanced use cases.
