konveyor/tackle2-hub

Tackle2-hub is a REST API and task management component for Kubernetes and OpenShift environments that serves as the central hub for the Konveyor migration toolkit.

The hub addresses the need for coordinated application migration and modernization by providing a REST API, an inventory system for tracking applications and their metadata, and a task manager for orchestrating migration workflows. It runs as a containerized workload on Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters and exposes endpoints that other Konveyor components use to query application data, submit tasks, and report progress.

Teams adopting this tool should expect to deploy it within a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster as part of a broader Konveyor installation. It suits organizations performing large-scale application migrations or assessments where centralized coordination across multiple tools and plugins is necessary. The hub is not a standalone product but rather the orchestration backbone of the Konveyor ecosystem, so adoption makes sense only when paired with other Konveyor components that consume its API and task queue.

Development activity shows a pattern of incremental refinement with attention to build infrastructure. The project maintains separate build paths for the Go binary and the embedded Node.js login frontend, reflecting a deliberate architectural choice to keep concerns separated while delivering a unified binary. Container builds are handled through a dedicated builder stage in the Dockerfile, eliminating the need for local Node.js installation in containerized environments. The codebase includes configuration documentation and a task manager subsystem with its own documentation, indicating structured organization of concerns. The project references a community Code of Conduct, signaling commitment to collaborative development practices.
