Deployment Targets

vibeD supports two deployment targets. It auto-detects which are available and picks the best one.

Knative Serving (Preferred)​

Knative provides the best experience for web artifacts:

  • Automatic HTTPS with auto-generated certificates
  • Scale-to-zero for cost efficiency
  • Clean URLs like my-app.default.example.com
  • Revision-based rollbacks

vibeD creates Knative Service resources that manage revisions, routing, and scaling automatically.

Kubernetes (Always Available)​

Plain Kubernetes deployments as a fallback:

  • Deployment + Service with NodePort
  • Always available on any Kubernetes cluster
  • Manual scaling via replica count

vibeD creates a Deployment and a Service with NodePort type.

Target Selection​

When target is set to auto (default), vibeD picks the target in this priority:

  1. Knative - If serving.knative.dev CRDs exist
  2. Kubernetes - Always available as fallback

You can override this per-artifact by passing target to the deploy_artifact MCP tool.
