Thanks, everyone, for coming to the #werf kiosk at #KubeCon today, for your interest, and for the meaningful talks!

Are you at #KubeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam these days? Our Maksim and Ilia are there — be sure to say "hi" to them if you're around! 👋 They will represent two #CNCF Sandbox projects at the Project Pavilion:

- Wed @ 14:00-17:00, Kiosk P-6B, werf (@werf.io)
- Thu @ 10:00-14:00, Kiosk P-6B, Dex

Attending #KubeCon Europe 2026 next week? Happy to announce that #werf will be there! Find our kiosk at the Project Pavilion on Wednesday, 14:00 - 17:00, kiosk number is P-6B 🙌

P.S. Find the complete Project Pavilion Directory here: events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-clou...

And all of them build the same kind of execution plan… When we are done with the Nelm operator (currently in development), we will probably finish these things as well!

We also want to add the same planning functionality for rollback and uninstall, along with the ability to do rollback/uninstall using a previously built plan. It's not difficult to do, since install, rollback and uninstall share most of the code under the hood.

Meanwhile, new exciting features are coming soon to Nelm — we'll keep you posted! 😉

From now on, we’ll focus our efforts on Nelm v2 and the Nelm operator. At the same time, there’s an ongoing community effort to implement a Go templates alternative in Nelm using #TypeScript, following our recent formal proposal (github.com/werf/nelm/pu...). Everyone is welcome to join! 🙌

How Nelm compares to Helm 4: Current differences and future plans Nelm is an alternative tool to Helm 4 that supports deploying CRDs, defining deployment order, advanced resource tracking, and much more.

Following the recent release of #Helm v4, we’d like to explain how it is different from Nelm we use in #werf. This article provides our detailed comparison and sheds light on the significant enhancements we plan for Nelm. Feel free to share with your #Kubernetes folks!

blog.werf.io/nelm-helm-4-...

Thank you for sharing! Since Helm 4 is coming next month, we will soon explain how Nelm is different (and why some users might prefer it in what cases) in a new article.

Nelm is a Helm 3 alternative built by the werf team, designed for Kubernetes deployments

It replaces Helm’s 3-way merge with server-side apply, supports Terraform-plan-style dry runs, advanced resource ordering and encrypted values
