Decision brief
Kurtosis is a platform for packaging and launching blockchain infrastructure that works with various backends such as Docker and Kubernetes, using Go as its language.
Good fit when
- When developing specialized blockchain applications requiring streamlined deployment on multiple backend technologies
- For projects needing a DevOps process oriented specifically toward the needs of blockchain development
Avoid when
- If your project uses languages or frameworks not supported by Go and does not include Docker or Kubernetes in its tech stack
- When the requirements do not involve blockchain technology, as Kurtosis is narrowly focused on this domain
