This blog post introduces OpenChoreo’s approach to creating declarative, strongly typed, developer-friendly abstractions for Kubernetes using CEL-based ComponentTypes and Traits, with first-class Environments and release concepts that enable declarative multi-environment, multi-cluster deployments.

Hey everyone. It’s been a while since our first blog post, so I wanted to share a quick update on where OpenChoreo is going, what we’ve been improving recently, and what you can expect next.

We’ve been actively developing OpenChoreo over the last few months, and we’re aiming for a 1.0 release in Q1 2026. Until then, the project is evolving fast, and we don’t recommend running it in production just yet. But if you’re curious, this is a great time to try it out, see how the model feels, and help us shape it with your feedback.

Welcome to the OpenChoreo Blog, your new home for updates, ideas, and stories from the OpenChoreo open-source community! We’re just getting started, and we’re thrilled to share this journey with you.

On this blog, we plan to post release updates, upcoming features, community adoption stories, and the occasional off-topic stuff (you’ve been warned).
