Overview and Design

Tsuru is a production-proven, open-source PaaS that abstracts complex cloud and container operations for software engineering teams. Developed in Go, Tsuru coordinates application lifecycles, healthchecks, autoscaling, and service provisioning across Kubernetes clusters.

Creating and Deploying Applications

Using the Tsuru CLI, developers create an application and deploy it via Git:

bash
1tsuru app-create myapp python
2git remote add tsuru git.tsuru.example.com:myapp.git
3git push tsuru main

Tsuru compiles the application with the appropriate language buildpack, starts containers, attaches routing rules, and streams deployment logs back to the terminal.

Tsuru is distributed under the open BSD 3-Clause License.
