Want to try Habitat? Get started here.

Habitat is an application automation framework that allows you to build applications that have automation built-in. This provides modern applications that:

  • Provide repeatable builds
  • Run from single, immutable assets
  • Allow for runtime configuration for multiple deployment scenarios
  • Are agnostic to operating environment (works the same on bare metal, virtualization, containers, PaaS)
  • Provide idempotent behavior (the same inputs to the same asset provide the same outcome)
  • Provide convergent behavior (each service makes progress towards the correct behavior in the face of failure)
  • Expose promises to those who rely on it
  • Provide a low barrier to entry
  • Are language agnostic
