I had Tekton in my mental filing cabinet under "Cloud Native CI/CD", how's the UI / DAG-visualization for that toolchain? Like the sibling comment, I'd also be interested in hearing your A/B thoughts on Argo vs. Tekton for the generic workflow management usecase.



Tekton's UI is very bare bones. Really all you need to see job status and logs from each job/step running. It's not _good_, it's fine to get the job done. It's not good at surfacing errors during execution though. We spend a lot of time diagnosing why pipelines failed.

At this point in my experience for both (I have much, much more time with Tekton though), Argo is good for CD. It's visualization and syncing of environment charts (we use Helm) is useful.

Tekton is amazing for defining highly complex build/deploy workflows (which we have). Along with Tekton's sibling project Triggers, you can have full end-to-end PR -> Build -> Deploy -> Feedback into Slack/Monitoring/Alerting/etc.

If I had to make a comparison (with my current knowledge level), I'd say Argo is like Angular, batteries loaded with addons you can include if you wish. Tekton is like React, you get pieces and build them into whatever you want.
