What every CNCF project does, and how it works inside.
234 projects on 17 lines, one line per role. 126 of them have a deep-dive read from the upstream code at a pinned commit, with every claim cited. The rest say what they are and link to their repository.
- Graduated
- Incubating
- Sandbox
- Not in CNCF
One stop per project, so a longer line means a bigger category. Select a stop to open its deep-dive, or its repository if it has none yet. With a keyboard, Tab reaches each line and the arrow keys move along it.
