Squadron

Docker Compose for Kubernetes.

Squadron is a CLI that orchestrates multiple Helm charts and Docker image builds as one cohesive deployment, driven by a single declarative squadron.yaml. It brings the familiar docker-compose workflow — define your services once, bring the whole stack up with one command — to Kubernetes, where each service is a real Helm release. In production, a squadron is just another set of Helm charts.
