We already have some home-grown kubernetes dev environment in which every developer/QA can spin up all of our services in a dedicated namespace, but it's a bit tedious and spaghetti-code as it grew organically over time (from a 15 devs team to a +70 one). Garden looks like a nice alternative solution, do you think Garden Core is enough to get started? (we like to get our hands dirty)

Sounds like Garden Core could be a great fit here.

The motivation behind Garden was that, like you, we had built our own home-grown kubernetes dev environments, but felt like there should be a polished, general-purpose framework + tool for this sort of thing.

Hi, another Gardener here. Garden Core should indeed be enough to get started. I'm trying to keep this as factual and non-pitchy as possible for the sake of providing context—the enterprise product gets you:

• RBAC and secrets management (also makes it possible to control which users have access to which types of environments)

• Direct integration with GitHub or GitLab, so you could trigger something to happen in Garden based on a VCS event

• Automated environment cleanup (coming soon)

• Support and all that
