Overview

Argo Events is an event-driven workflow automation framework for Kubernetes. It helps you trigger Kubernetes objects, Argo Workflows, serverless workloads, and more, based on events from a variety of sources like webhooks, S3, schedules, and messaging queues.

✨ Key Features

  • Support for 20+ event sources (e.g., S3, SQS, GCP Pub/Sub, Webhooks, Kafka)
  • Ability to trigger various actions (e.g., Argo Workflows, K8s Objects, AWS Lambda)
  • Customizable business-level constraint logic for event dependencies
  • CloudEvents compliant
  • Manages complex, multi-source event dependencies

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Vendor-agnostic and Kubernetes-native
  • Deep integration with Argo Workflows
  • Rich set of built-in event sources

Unique Value: Provides a powerful, flexible, and Kubernetes-native framework for automating workflows based on a wide variety of events, enabling complex, decoupled architectures.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Triggering CI/CD pipelines on Git push events Processing files when they are uploaded to S3 Running workflows on a cron schedule Creating complex, event-driven architectures on Kubernetes

✅ Best For

  • Event-driven CI/CD with Argo Workflows
  • Automated data processing pipelines triggered by object storage events

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Workflows that do not require event-based triggers
  • High-frequency trading or applications requiring microsecond latency

🏆 Alternatives

Knative Eventing Tekton Triggers Cloud-specific event services (AWS EventBridge, Google Cloud Functions)

Offers a more comprehensive and Kubernetes-native solution for event-driven automation compared to cloud-specific services, and provides deeper integration with workflow orchestration than simpler trigger systems.
