Pipelines as Code is a Kubernetes-native CI/CD framework built on Tekton. Define your pipelines in .tekton/*.yaml alongside your source code — versioned, reviewed, and triggered automatically on pull requests and pushes. Results are reported back as native Git provider status checks.
| Feature | Detail |

| Multi-provider | GitHub App/Webhooks, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud/DC, Forgejo |

| Automatic task resolution | Fetches remote tasks from Artifact Hub before submission |
| Intelligent housekeeping | Auto-prunes old PipelineRuns, cancels superseded runs on new pushes |
