About:
Datree is a CLI tool that prevents Kubernetes misconfigurations by validating manifests and Helm charts against customizable policies. It integrates into CI/CD pipelines to enforce best practices and organizational standards before deployment. The tool provides actionable feedback to help developers fix issues early in the development cycle.

Key Features:

Policy-as-code validation for Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts
Built-in and customizable policy rules
CI/CD integration for automated checks
Detailed failure explanations and remediation guidance

Use Cases:

Enforcing organizational standards in Kubernetes deployments
Preventing misconfigurations in CI/CD pipelines
Validating Helm charts against custom policies

Alternatives:

kubeval – Validates Kubernetes manifests against schemas but lacks policy-as-code capabilities
conftest – General-purpose policy testing using Open Policy Agent, requires more setup for Kubernetes-specific rules
polaris – Focuses on Kubernetes best practices and has a dashboard, while datree is CLI-first
