Version: 0.2

Konstruct 0.2

Released: December 5, 2025

Major Features 🚀​

Environments​

Manage the delivery and controls of applications, their target clusters, and namespaces. The use of environments unlocks the power of Konstruct's new Pipeline Templates feature set.

Key Capabilities:

  • Define deployment targets with pre-release and release environments
  • Control application delivery across multiple clusters
  • Manage namespaces and environment-specific configurations
  • Enable multi-stage deployment pipelines

Getting Started:

Pipeline Templates​

Registered application repos will now automatically build their own container, publish that container to their cloud, manage and publish its own automatically created helm chart, and deliver that chart to any target Environment dynamically applying the change to all associated clusters 🎉

Automated Workflow:

  • GitHub Actions Integration: Automatically adds publish.yaml and deploy.yaml workflows
  • Container Building: Docker builds triggered on every commit to main
  • Registry Publishing: Push containers to your organization's AWS ECR registry
  • Helm Chart Generation: Auto-created and versioned Helm charts with each build
  • Multi-Environment Deployment: Progressive deployment through Stage 1 → Stage 2 → Stage 3
  • Zero Configuration: Works immediately upon application registration

Default Template Source: github.com/konstructio/konstruct-templates

Custom Pipeline Templates​

Eject from the Konstruct templates and set your own default CI that apps on your platform will always begin with, starting from our fully operational upstream.

Customization Options:

  • Fork and modify Konstruct's battle-tested templates
  • Define organization-specific CI/CD workflows
  • Maintain consistency across all new applications
  • Version control your pipeline standards

Getting Started:
