Alien framework
Use the Alien framework when Alien should build and update the deployment for you.
You describe the remote code and the resources it needs in alien.ts. Alien turns that description into a deployment for the platform the environment owner chooses. Your hosted application stays in your cloud and calls the deployment through Commands, HTTP, events, or resource bindings.
Your control plane contains product complexity and global state. It communicates with a small, preferably stateless service in the remote environment through Commands, HTTP, events, or gateways.
Start with the Quickstart, then read How Alien works and Stacks.
If an existing Helm chart already defines the application in Kubernetes, use Remote Operator instead.
