Decision brief
Kurtosis is a platform for packaging and launching blockchain infrastructure, akin to Docker Compose but specialized for blockchain systems.
Good fit when
- When you need a streamlined approach to deploying and managing blockchain infrastructure, similar to Docker Compose but specifically tailored for blockchain systems.
- If your project requires integration with Go (version 1.23 or above) and you are working on a MacOS environment, as Kurtosis provides specific installation instructions for these dependencies.
Avoid when
- If your project does not involve blockchain infrastructure, as Kurtosis is specialized for blockchain systems and may not offer the necessary flexibility for other types of infrastructure.
- If you are working in an environment other than MacOS and do not require the specific Go version (1.23 or above) that Kurtosis recommends, as the installation instructions provided are tailored to a狭窄
- Requirements:
- Requires Docker; Modern versions of bash and git are required, as the versions that come pre-installed on MacOS are considered too old.
