Blubber

Blubber creates Dockerfiles from a higher level description expressed as YAML. The Deployment pipeline relies on an application's Blubberfile(s) to build images for testing and production.

PipelineLib

PipelineLib is a library of code that consumes an application's .pipeline/config.yaml. This configuration directs the pipeline through integration telling it:

What blubber.yaml
What unit tests to run
What integration tests to run
Which tests can be run in parallel
What container image is to be used in production

Helm

Helm uses Helm charts to define the resources needed to deploy an application to production. Helm manages things like:

Config files
Resource limits
What ports your application uses
Smoke tests for your application

In short, Helm allows the easy management of mapping deployment resources to an environment. If you need a different configuration for local development and production, chances are it'll be easy to configure with Helm.
