Pick Garden if…
Garden is designed for platform engineers, DevOps engineers and application developers running workloads on Kubernetes. It suits teams that need reproducible workflows, on-demand environments, dependency-aware caching or live synchronization during development.

Kaniko suits teams building container images from Dockerfiles in containerized or Kubernetes environments without a Docker daemon. Users building Windows containers or needing Kaniko itself to create multi-architecture manifests should note its limits.
