Bear

Build, Evaluate, Apply, Repeat

A Terraform-inspired CI/CD tool for monorepos. Detect changes, validate, deploy — only what changed.

30-Second Example

bear.config.yml
name: my-platform

use:
  languages: [go, node]
  targets: [docker, cloudrun]
services/api/bear.artifact.yml
name: api
target: cloudrun
depends: [shared-lib]

bear plan    # detect changes, validate
bear apply   # deploy

That's it. Bear detects which services changed, runs validation (tests, linting, builds), and deploys only what's needed.
