What is renovate-operator?
Renovate Operator is a Kubernetes-native solution for running Mend Renovate automated dependency updates on your own infrastructure. It provides CRD-based scheduling, auto-discovery of repositories, a built-in web UI for monitoring, and parallel execution with concurrency control. The operator works with any Git platform supported by Renovate including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Gitea. It's designed for teams already running Kubernetes who want more control and observability than plain self-hosted setups provide.
